(King Abdullah summons Dr. Khalid Al Karaki and Dr. Walid Maani to the Royal Court. meeting attended by PM Al Rifai)
Al Karaki: دمتم صباحا يا صاحب الجلالة....يا سيدي أسعف فمي ليقول...
King Abdullah: Just sit down.
Al karaki: 7adir, sidi.
King Abdullah: The reason I wanted to meet you and Walid is that I would like us four to discuss the country's education system. As you know, Samir here opted to put the whole system in the hands of two كركية. I am not sure about his motives or plans, but I would like to hear from both of you.
Maani: Sidi, if I may, I would like to thank you for your trust in us to overhaul the system.
King Abdullah: Overhaul what, 7abibi? You were in the same position 8 years ago and nothing was "overhauled!"
Al Karaki: looool
Maani: what are you laughing at? you, too, were in the same position in 1991!!
Al Karaki: yeah, but for one month only. I wasn't even done receiving المهنئين and they get rid of me
King Abdullah: Samir, if these two have been in these positions before, why did you hire them back? I thought you were all about fresh blood? what happened there, harvy?
Al Rifai: Sidi, I just called up the list given to me by Al Louzi. I didn't even know these two guys. I never worked with either one at JDC!
King Abdullah: What was Al Louzi's rationale?
Al Rifai: he said these two are from Al Karak and are less susceptible to infighting.
King Abdullah: Are you two aware of the relationship between your ministries?
Maani: of course, sidi. we make sure everything is blamed on the other so nothing gets done :)
King Abdullah: :) you have a sense of humor, Walid. I didn't know that.
Maani: thank you, sidi...no, no, no seriously, If I could get better students from el tawjihi, I may be able to transform our higher education system to match that of industrial nations.
King Abdullah: that's very ambitious....and you, Khaled, what's your excuse?
Al Karaki: Sidi, if I could get better teachers graduating from our universities, I will make our schools the envy of the world.
King Abdullah: Well, both of you have been the president of Jordan university, both of you have been the Minister of Higher Education, and both of you have been the minister of Education!! يعني جايين تسرحوا فيّا؟ الحق مِش عليكو، الحق على إللي عيّنكو
Al Rifai: Sidi, but but
King Abdullah: bala but, bala garaf.....all of you just leave....اللهم إنّي صائم
.

(10 minutes later, after his majesty had a chance to calm down a little)
mab3oos: your majesty, are we still on for the no red-lines, all in, nothing censored interview you promised me last week?
King Abdullah: Yes, يا أخي. Just like I told you.
mab3oos: thank you very much, sidi. tomorrow it is, then.

The first appearance of "THE MAB3OOS"

comic collectors will be all over your blog

but seriously.. good conclusion about education.. history repeats itself.. how can anything change

mab3oos said...

jano,
I wonder of the vetting process followed to put together the cabinet. I don't think qualifications and past performance play any role!

Jano said...

not all of them but you're right.. especially latest change which brought up some serious questions.. anyway,
لا يغير الله ما بقوم حتى يغيروا ما بأنفسهم

The education system is so overhauled to the extent that the ministry of education is now forcing private schools to buy its English books and teach them!
Well at least now under the new curricula, a nine- year old who learned in previous years how to add suffixes, prefixes, antonyms to root words and learned about homophones …etc would be able now to tell what a whale is just from looking at the picture and even better when he sees a cat, he can say just say meow!
