The President of the German Jordanian University (GJU), Prof. Dr. Ala’aldeen Al-Halhouli, met with a delegation from the Directorate of Military Education and Culture in the Jordanian Armed Forces, headed by Brigadier General Dr. Saleh Al-Khalaileh, to explore avenues of academic, educational, and training cooperation.
The discussions focused on enhancing partnership between the two institutions, particularly in supporting guidance and counseling programs for students in military schools and expanding their access to the academic specializations and programs offered by GJU — especially in German language, modern technologies, artificial intelligence, and entrepreneurship.
The two parties also emphasized the importance of developing training programs tailored for the teaching and administrative staff of the directorate’s schools. Efforts will be coordinated to support students under the Royal Scholarship Program, in addition to pursuing strategic projects, such as establishing an innovation center and a language school for military school students.
Further, they addressed the enhancement of the Military Culture course, which GJU has been delivering online for several years. Both sides highlighted the need to update and restructure the course to align with the latest digital education tools and methodologies, ensuring a comprehensive and high-quality learning experience for students.
Prof. Al-Halhouli praised the vital national and educational role of the Directorate in instilling core values, promoting discipline and responsibility, and preparing generations capable of serving the nation. He affirmed the importance of strengthening cooperation between the two institutions to advance education and benefit students.
He also stressed the need to propose practical, joint projects and programs that offer mutual benefit and contribute to the development of the educational system in line with current and future needs.
For his part, Brig. Gen. Dr. Al-Khalaileh expressed pride in the partnership with GJU, reaffirming the directorate’s commitment to building strategic relationships with leading higher education institutions to equip military culture students with academic and practical skills.
He noted that such partnerships foster a sense of belonging and discipline among students, opening up educational and training opportunities that align with the demands of modern times. He also praised GJU and its graduates for their academic excellence and distinctive combination of theoretical and practical learning.
He concluded by expressing the directorate’s aspiration to expand cooperation in ways that contribute to preparing a generation equipped with the scientific and intellectual tools necessary to advance Jordan’s development.
