Update: Jordan

Compared with the third quarter, no major changes have taken place in the interim. An important increase is denoted to the educational sector penetration and a minor one to the regional authorities sector. A brief analysis follows.

The Municipality of Greater Amman has launched its site and it can be electronically accessed at www.access2arabia.com/moga.

The unique library website belongs to the National Library of Jordan (www.mis.gov.jo/library/english/index.htm).

Three schools have made their presence on the web: the Al-Manhal International School (www.eastwards.com/al-manhal), the American Community School (www.acsamman.edu.jo) and the Modern American School (www.modernamericanschool.com).

Most of the Jordanian Universities have launched their own web site, therefore giving an important increase to the relevant penetration. Below is a list of the relevant links.

Finally, the already reported web address of Ministry of Higher Education, is not valid yet. Its new one is tabulated beneath.
