Speaking at an inclusive education event organized by the Directorate of Education for the Deir Alla District under the title “This Is Me,” dedicated to students with disabilities, Al-Ajarmeh noted that Jordan has made significant progress in educational inclusion. He pointed out that the strategy began with an inclusion rate of 1.7% and reached 7.4% by 2025, with the Ministry aiming to raise this figure to 10% by the year 2030.

For his part, the Director of Education for the Deir Alla District, Mazhar Al-Rahameh, affirmed that this celebration coincides with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan’s observance of Flag Day and other national occasions.

He noted that the “This Is Me” event is a practical reflection of the Ministry’s plans and strategies to achieve the targeted percentage of inclusion outlined in the 2030 strategy.

The event featured a variety of performances and activities by students with disabilities, showcasing the principles of inclusion and diversity in education.
