the regulations issued by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of
Education on the closure of all academic institutions, theJubilee Schoolis
fully activating its virtual platforms. Students are keeping up with
their daily schedule by accessing their lessons and meet their
classmates online to have discussions and interactive activities online.

and provides support to students such as solving internet access issues
to those who cannot afford access. TheJubilee Center for Excellence in Educationcontinues
supporting the young scholars of the Albert Einstein German Academic
Refugee Initiative (DAFI) program. DAFI students are able to continue
with their lessons online as all universities in Jordan have moved to
e-learning. The DAFI team is facilitating support to students residing
in camps who have weak internet access. Extended electricity provisions
to provide longer online study periods have also been helpful.  The students’ allowances continue to be disbursed through e-wallets. All students have medical insurance through their universities.
