Box 150459, Zarqa 13115, Jordan Abstract: The conception of conserving and managing an archaeological site is usually challenging. These issues become more challenging when dealing with archaeological sites in the scale of the world heritage site of Petra, Jordan. The current paper presents a critical evaluation on some of the conservation work at one of the world new seven wonders, the World Heritage Site of Petra. The research extended to discuss and evaluate the historical, structural and current condition of Petra monuments. The study has revealed that the conservation work at the city had been done by different international organization with a different concepts and standards for each work. The study had concluded that a national conservation standard is highly needed for the conservation work at the city of Petra.

  • HERMES Development of a Higher Education and Research Area Between Europe and the Middle East
    HERMES Development of a Higher Education and Research Area between Europe and the Middle East The principle objective of HERMES project is to develop scientific mobility/exchanges of students at all levels and staff between the Higher Education institutions of Europe and the Higher Education institutions of the Middle East. This will lead to a “strong sustainable contribution” to the creation of a European– Mediterranean area of High- er Education and research. A total of 180 mobility is expected to be performed between the twenty universities of the HERMES consor- tium: 144 mobility from the Middle East to Europe and 36 Mobility from Europe to the Middle East. The dura- tion of the project is 4 years. The program has begun in July 2013 and it will end in June 2017. The Hermes program is funded by EU.

  • American Studies in Jordan and the UNC/UJ Partnership Program
    On Teaching American Studies in Jordan and the UNC/UJ Partnership Program Tawfiq Yousef American studies in Jordan and in the Middle East is relatively new. The oldest programs of American studies in the region were first established in Turkey, such as the one in Baskent University, Ankara, which was established after the 1950s.The other programs in Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Bahrain, Iran, and Lebanon are more recent, and the earliest in Egypt dates back to the 1990s while the other ones all have been founded after the turn of the century. These programs differ in their nature and structure from one country to another. They vary in their levels, credit hour requirements, affiliation (the faculties or departments responsible for offering them), as well as in their status (degree-granting programs, undergraduate course-offering programs, or research centers), etc. In Jordan, American studies is offered in the University of Jordan and at the postgraduate level. This program (begun in 2000) and the program offered at Al-Quds University (established in 2002) are the only two graduate programs in the Middle East that offer MA degrees in American studies. American studies is also taught at the Hashemite University as part of their undergraduate program in English and cultural studies. In Egypt, American studies is taught in one way or another at the American University in Cairo (AUC) where the School of Humanities and Social Sciences offers, through the American Studies and Research Center, a minor in American studies in an interdisciplinary program in which students take a minimum of five courses ( 15 credits among specified 0026-3079/2006/4703/4-151S2.50/0 American Studies, 47:3/4 (Fall-Winter 2006): 151-166 151 152 TawfiqYousef offerings involving the study of the history and culture of the United States).

  • Education Activities for Refugees August 2019
    JORDAN Education Activities for Refugees August 2019 BACKGROUND – EDUCATION FOR REFUGEE STUDENTS Jordan continues to provide refuge to displaced populations from the region and around the world. Youth comprise a large number of the refugees in Jordan. Out of a registered population of 751,860 refugees as of 15 July 2019, 223,585 (30 %) range between the ages of 18-35 years old, and 359,945 (48%) refugees are between 0-17 years old. Refugee children enjoy free access to national basic education systems as mentioned in the Education Strategic Plan 2018-2022. However, refugee children face specific issues in terms of documentation (specifically for non-Syrians), a lack of resources and school materials. At present, there are limited opportunities available for refugees wishing to access tertiary education; whether for graduates of secondary school, or students who were forced to interrupt their university studies due to conflict. As reflected in UNHCR Global Education Strategy, tertiary education is an integral part of UNHCR’s Education Jordan Strategy 2017- 2019, and is considered within the continuum of the education cycle. Tertiary education includes all types of post-secondary education, such as education at colleges and universities which leads to degrees, as well as training that is technical, vocational, professional/para-professional and results in certificates and diplomas. In 2019, the education Working Group (WG) and the tertiary education WG were merged in Jordan to provide a forum for partners to coordinate activities, share best practices and ensure that opportunities provided in Jordan are based on evidence and meeting the needs of the beneficiary population on basic, secondary and tertiary educational levels as we as exploring cross sector coordination with livelihood sector.
