ALBAWABA -In a surprising turn of events, the Jordanian Ministry of Education, as reported by Roya News, has included the occurrences of October 7th in the national curriculum for tenth-grade students. This addition extends the narrative of the Palestinian struggle, chronicling the story from the early days of the occupation.
This decision follows the resilient efforts of Palestinian resistance, marking a profound moment that left an indelible impact on the history of the occupation.
The curriculum delves into the evolution of the Palestinian issue, tracing its origins and highlighting Zionist aspirations in Palestine. It also underscores Jordan's ongoing commitment to Palestine and its active role in advocating for the cause on the global stage.
The material further emphasizes Jordan's steadfast support for the Palestinian people's right to establish an independent state on their native land, designating Jerusalem as its capital.
Notably, on October 7th of the previous year, the Palestinian resistance initiated "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood" in response to persistent Israeli transgressions, particularly concerning the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Dr. Ibrahim Badran to Roya, a member of the National Center for Curriculum Development, commented that the inclusion of the October 7th, 2023 events aligns seamlessly with the Ministry's vision and the broader educational framework of Jordan.
The updated curriculum will be distributed to tenth-grade students during the upcoming semester, providing a comprehensive understanding of the Palestinian issue and its historical evolution.
