According to Jordan News Agency, the book presents a "detailed historical" narrative of the educational journey in southern Tafila governorate during the first half of the 20th century. The center added that this effort was implemented by recording the lives of 100 teachers, who formed the preliminary core of the governorate's educational process.
On its traits, the book is "distinguished" by its inclusion of key documentary appendices, featuring photographs, official documents, and administrative correspondence. The chronicle also contains personal and human profiles that highlight these teachers' life and intellectual aspects, who contributed to building Tafila's educational infrastructure.
