Al-Ahliyya Amman University Achieves Academic Milestone with European Approval for Its Technical Education Project in Dentistry

Al-Ahliyya Amman University has achieved a new milestone on the academic stage with the acceptance of its project under the European Union programs. The European Commission in Brussels announced the results of the second round of funded projects, which included the university’s proposal titled: “Dental Assistant Vocational Diploma Program – DAVDP.” The project aims to establish a vocational diploma program for dental assistants, to be implemented and institutionalized at the Faculty of Dentistry at Al-Ahliyya Amman University, with a total budget of €400,000 distributed among local and European partners. This initiative comes within the framework of the Capacity Building in VET in South Mediterranean Countries program, which seeks to strengthen vocational and technical education capacities in Southern Mediterranean countries. The project is the outcome of the university administration’s efforts and follow-up, coordinated by Dr. Wala’ Al-Samadi in direct collaboration with the faculty of Dentistry. The project includes partners from several countries, including Malta (as the project coordinator), Austria, Greece, in addition to Jordan and Palestine, giving the initiative an important international and regional dimension and enhancing opportunities for knowledge exchange and the development of joint curricula. Al-Ahliyya Amman University expressed its appreciation to its local, regional, and international partners, and extended special thanks to the Erasmus+ National Office in Jordan, represented by Dr. Ahmad Abu Al-Heija and Ms. Asma Al-Samadi, for their support and guidance, which contributed significantly to achieving this accomplishment.
