The National Alliance for the Future of Education (NAFE), in collaboration with the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), held its first stakeholder dialogue on AI-supported learning in Jordanian schools on 3 February 2026. This initial discussion marks the beginning of a series of engagements aimed at formalizing a structured AI network within the existing NAFE governance framework, and under Investing in the Future: Sustainable, AI-Enabled Learning Systems in the Jordanian Education Sector, implemented by ARDD in partnership with Vision Hope International, in collaboration with Branches of Mercy (BOM).
In line with ARDD’s Education Program, the online session brought together NAFE members, Ministry of Education representatives, and key project partners to discuss strategies for implementing AI in classrooms and expanding digital learning opportunities for students. Participants explored governance and coordination mechanisms, emphasizing regular, well-documented network meetings, and contributed to shaping strategic priorities for AI integration in education.
This dialogue sets the stage for NAFE members to actively advocate for a more widespread evaluation and adaptation of best-practice AI-supported learning across Jordanian schools, raising awareness of promoting innovative approaches to teaching and learning. During the session, plans were shared to launch a dedicated AI Committee within NAFE, which will work closely with the selected research partner, Integrated International, to develop a study assessing AI’s feasibility and impact in classrooms. The Committee will serve as a key advisory and coordination body, ensuring alignment between NAFE members, schools, and project objectives while guiding the research and future interventions.
ARDD facilitated the session, highlighting the importance of collaborative approaches, evidence-based programming, and inclusive participation to strengthen educational quality and equity. Participants shared insights and experiences, identifying opportunities for innovative teaching practices, improved student engagement, and future collaboration. The meeting concluded with a roadmap for quarterly follow-up sessions, ensuring continuous dialogue, strategic advocacy, and systematic documentation to reinforce the network’s impact.
This first NAFE stakeholder dialogue underscores the commitment of educators, policymakers, and partners to fostering a sustainable, inclusive, and forward-looking learning ecosystem through evaluating AI integration methods and identifying localized best practices in this regard.
