Agree with you madonna 23, she hasn't been looking very smart for a while now and these washed out colours don't really flatter her. Wonder why she hasn't been dressing up to the usual royal standard for engagements?
 
I don't know, I personnaly find her very elegant in that colours.

Queen Rania pays tribute to educators

AMMAN (JT) - Her Majesty Queen Rania on Saturday congratulated teachers on the occasion of Teachers’ Day and extended thanks to all of them for their efforts in educating the Kingdom’s students.

In a letter aired via Radio Jordan and other local broadcasting agencies, the Queen expressed pride in teachers, underlining the great responsibilities they are undertaking. Jordan Times
 
Article from the event, with a brand new award to look forward to:

Queen Rania announces Distinguished Principals Award

AQABA - Her Majesty Queen Rania on Thursday announced the launch of Queen Rania Al Abdullah Award for Distinguished Principals, which will start early next year.

"The award is dedicated for school principals who are real educators: those who make sure that each teacher performs his/her duty… Principals are the eyes of teachers… who encourage and inspire them," the Queen said at a ceremony to honour winners of the Queen Rania Award for Distinguished Teachers held in this Red Sea port city.

In her remarks, Queen Rania said there are many distinguished teachers in Jordan but there are others in the country's schools who overlook the element of actual education in the teaching process.

There are teachers who allow themselves to exercise corporal punishment, making children pay for their own failure to guide, educate or correct the behaviour of their students, Her Majesty said. Jordan Times
 
follow-up to Rania's speech at the awards

Physical punishment red line - Queen

AMMAN - Her Majesty Queen Rania on Monday stressed that violence against schoolchildren in the Kingdom is a "red line" that cannot be tolerated or accepted.

The Queen's remarks were posted on Ammonnews.net, a local electronic newspaper. They were made in reaction to a November 30 item by the e-paper that included interviews with schoolteachers commenting on reasons that prompted Queen Rania in a speech she made a few days earlier to address the issue of physical punishment at schools.

The Queen said she was following up on the article and ensuing debate and decided to respond to some comments "because while we encourage open and frank dialogues, the issue of schoolchildren beatings is a red line and is unacceptable under any circumstances".

. . . . The Queen was reacting to some entries by readers who called for applying severe disciplinary measures against school students that included beating and other forms of punishments.

"Since when have beatings at school become acceptable whether mild or severe?" the Queen wrote. Jordan Times
