In order to offer the students a better education, schools have to update their electrical systems to service computers, audio-video equipment etc..Also, older schools require regular maintenance.

The California public schools that I taught in were over 50 years old. We needed to modernize to accomodate wheel chair bound students, replace our plumbing, and update for technology.

We saw the beginnings of this initiative last year during Ramadan when Queen Rania visited and adopted several schools in the Kingdom.

An article about the event:

Queen visits ‘Madrasati’ school

AMMAN (JT) - Her Majesty Queen Rania on Monday toured Shajaret Al Dor elementary school in Tlaa Al Ali, one of several schools covered by the Madrasati initiative.

. . . Undertaking part of the responsibility, the University of Jordan (UJ) pledged to sponsor some of the schools covered by the initiative, including Shajaret Al Dor, which hosts 340 students and 20 teachers in 11 classrooms.

The school has two buildings, dating back to 1955 and 1986, which need overall maintenance, including fixing electrical sockets and providing appropriate sanitary facilities and drinking water in addition to a computer lab. Jordan Times

AMMAN (Petra) - Her Majesty Queen Rania on Tuesday toured three private educational institutions which have pledged to assist public schools as part of the Madrasati initiative.
The ambitious Madrasati (my school) initiative, launched by Queen Rania last week, is designed to make education a social responsibility by pairing corporations and NGOs with 500 schools in the Kingdom which are in desperate need of repair.

Thanks asturiana!

I've saved the photos you posted because the Yahoo links don't tend to last for more than a few weeks
