Project narrative

On October 7th, 2018, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy, the Chinese Ambassador to Jordan, Pan Weifiang, granted 289 Chinese-made tablets to the Jordanian Ministry of Education for distribution to King Abullah II School's for Excellence in 12 Jordanian Governorates. The Jordanian Minister of Education, Azmi Mahafzah, and 12 principles from the recipient schools attended the event. The aid is not only intended to increase the technical literacy of Jordanian students but also strengthen relations between the two countries as avowed in the Chinese Ambassador's speech. The donation came as part of Jordan and China's "King's Court Initiative and Implementation Committee" (宫廷落实国王倡议委员会).
