Winners of higher education scholarships announced

AMMAN — In line with its mission to motivate distinguished educators who have become ambassadors of excellence, and hone their skills, the Association of Queen Rania Al Abdullah Award for Excellence in Education (QRAE) recently announced the winners of university scholarships. 

The scholarships are offered to distinguished educators in appreciation of their efforts in the field to encourage them to work towards revolutionising education, according to a QRAE statement. 

This year, the association selected 11 educators who have won its awards in previous years, offering them scholarships to obtain a master’s degree, a higher diploma or a bachelor’s degree. 

This raises the total beneficiaries of QRAE scholarships to 67 since the award was launched in 2006.

QRAE Executive Director Lubna Touqan stressed the importance of building the capacities of distinguished teachers to enable them to innovate in their field within their role as leaders of change in society.

“Allowing distinguished educators the chance to continue their higher education will enable them to develop themselves further, which will greatly benefit the education sector,” she said. 

The QRAE will continue to offer scholarships and English language courses to its award ambassadors through partnerships with public universities and educational institutes, which also entail commitments to spreading the culture of excellence by adopting the association’s standards in the curricula of educational sciences faculties and benefiting from distinguished educators’ expertise in training students at these faculties, the statement said.
