Amman: Chief of the Royal Hashemite Court (RHC) Yousef Issawi visited the Nazik Hariri Center for Special Education on Wednesday to review its programs and services dedicated to supporting people with disabilities.
According to Jordan News Agency, the center, established in 1985, is a non-governmental organization that provides education, care, and rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities. The center currently accommodates 150 students, with a total capacity of 212, and has become a national reference in special education and vocational rehabilitation over the past four decades.
The Nazik Hariri Center offers integrated services, including assessment, education, medical care, vocational rehabilitation, physical and speech therapy, and recreational programs. It also supports the integration of students post-graduation by following up on higher education and employment opportunities.
During his visit, Issawi toured the center's departments, including assessment, diagnosis, supportive medical services, and vocational and educational programs, where he was briefed on the services provided to students. He also visited vocational workshops that focus on skills such as rug weaving, mosaics, clay and embroidery, accessory making, carpentry, and computer skills. The tour concluded with a visit to the "Nebras" showroom, which displays products made by the students, and a musical performance by the center's choir.
Issawi commended the center's educational and humanitarian efforts, emphasizing their alignment with the royal vision of fostering a compassionate and inclusive society. He expressed his appreciation for the staff's dedication and commitment to empowering people with disabilities through education, training, and social integration.
He also highlighted that the continued support of His Majesty King Abdullah II and the follow-up by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah on education and empowerment programs reflect a royal approach that places people at the core of national development and strengthens social justice.
