services, and in creating an integrated academic and professional school
classification system.

The agreement was signed by

promoting quality education in the Arab world. He further pointed out that the

organization that assists in building an integrated classification system for educational
institutions, in accordance with the latest global classification standards, as
well as to conform with the requirements, quality assurance, accreditation,
consulting and capacity-building services in quality education.

Through this cooperation, the
two parties endeavor to offer school classification services by developing a
school classification project in Jordan, to be submitted to the Jordanian
Ministry of Education, with the assistance of specialized experts and
consultants. That is, in addition, to developing a draft for school
classification criteria and indicators. The draft would be reviewed by
consultants from both sides for finalization, and for preparing the
supplementary technical and financial proposal.

international non-profit independent association founded in 2007 in Belgium.
Its main objective is to promote the quality of higher education with a
particular focus on the Arab world.
