King’s Cross centre welcomes Jordanian ambassador

His Excellency, the Jordanian Minister of Education, paid a visit to our King’s Cross centre to learn more about our courses.

This month, His Excellency, the Jordanian Minister of Education, visited Capital City College (CCC)’s King’s Cross centre to learn about the range of courses we provide.

Organised by Jane Baker, the Vice President of Business Development at Pearson, the Jordanian Minister of Education and colleagues from the Jordan Ministry of Education and the Jordan Embassy were treated to a tour of the school and learned about the vocational courses for students.

 His Excellency has recently introduced vocational qualifications in Jordan and wanted to see the qualifications we offer at CCC, with a particular interest in healthcare, engineering, music, and the progression routes these provide for students.

The tour included a look at the healthcare suite, music studios and engineering workshops and showed students using the facilities, demonstrating how theory combines with practical experience. 

His Excellency also expressed an interest in the construction workshops at CCC, as he aims to deliver women-only construction qualifications to upskill the younger female generation in Jordan.

Puneet Dhaliwal​​​​, Assistant Principal at CCC’s King’s Cross centre, said: “We were honoured to welcome His Excellency, the Jordanian Minister of Education, to our campus. It is always a privilege to showcase the innovative work we’re doing in technical and vocational education — an area we are incredibly proud of.

“Significant investment has been made to create industry-standard learning environments, such as our state-of-the-art healthcare suites, which enable students to develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviours needed to thrive in the workplace. Sharing our facilities and best practices with both local and international partners reinforces our commitment to excellence in education and workforce readiness.”

Chris Faulkner, Project Director for the Pearson & Jordan BTEC Partnership, added: “Pearson are very grateful to Puneet and her team at Capital City College Kings Cross campus for hosting an informative visit by the Jordan Minister of Education, representatives from the Jordan Ministry of Education and the Jordan Embassy.  The visit showed great examples of how vocational education can be delivered using state of the art facilities, helping to provide innovative solutions to meeting the employment needs of local communities.”

Thank you to His Excellency for visiting! We hope to welcome you and your colleagues back again soon.
