Dr. Mohammad Al-Wadi from the Faculty of Computer Studies at the Arab Open University – Jordan took part in a national workshop organized by the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission for Higher Education Institutions, in cooperation with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research.

This initiative comes in response to the rapid advancements in the higher education sector and the growing trend toward integrating global skills into university curricula.
