After touring the school’s facilities and learning about the professional development programmes for teachers, King Abdullah and Queen Rania sat in on training sessions for teachers. They also spent time in a kindergarten class with teachers who completed the professional development programme for public school kindergarten teachers.
In Jordan, students go to school from Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday being considered the weekend. Most of the Middle East follows this week structure.
