In 2017, after the end of my second year of study at the university, I was searching for courses in the field of management and the English language related to my specialization in “media.” So I came to mind on many sites that contribute to this, and as an experiment, the Jordanian Edraak website affiliated with the Queen Rania Foundation... I benefited a lot from it, as it provides... Courses accredited by Jordanian universities, as well as the British Council, for teaching the English language. Thanks to God, I applied everything I learned on the ground, and the ACAPRES project was one of its results.
It is not the only one, but it is one of the best of these sites. If our current time is the era of technology, speed of communication, and digital information, then this requires universities and institutes to advance their education to the technical stage, not just the fixed spatial dimension.
If we cite another example of universities, you will find that the most prestigious international university, Al-Azhar University, has opened the door to online learning for humanities specializations in general, and Sharia in particular, and this is an initiative that comes in light of the development of the Internet and the transfer of financial transactions in terms of paying study fees via the Internet.
But if you want education at reduced fees accompanied by scholarships, the American University of the People has opened its doors for that in three specializations: health sciences - business administration - computer sciences, where it awards bachelor’s and associate’s degrees (equivalent to a two-year high diploma), and recently opened a master’s degree in business administration. Its degrees are accredited by the United States Department of Education, the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC), and the California Bureau of Postsecondary Education (BPPE).
If you want to learn more about your field of specialization, you should go to the “Al-Darin Forum,” which is authorized by the government in Egypt. It provides free courses in your specialty by professors from various Arab countries. The courses are offered to you in Arabic, and if you want to do so in English, you should use the “Khan” website. academic".
However, you may want an accredited certificate in other languages, so go to sites such as: (Coursera - Edx - Udacity - MIT), where they give you accredited certificates from prestigious international universities and institutes for a nominal price or for free.
There are giant companies such as Microsoft and Google that have also opened their doors to education in the field of computers and the Internet, as part of their social responsibility towards the digital society.
If I went on to mention the prestigious and accredited educational centers around us, we would not expand this article in its entirety, but education is open and the limit of increase is permitted. It suits poor and rich countries alike, and provides what is required at the lowest and cheapest costs. If the Arabs say: Seek knowledge, even if China, we will say: Seek knowledge, even at home.
