This study aimed to scrutinize the impact of Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah on improving the quality of education in Jordan through six main initiatives: the Jordan Education Initiative, the Queen Rania Teacher Academy, the Madrasati Initiative, Edraak, the Queen Rania Foundation for Education and Development, and the Queen Rania Award for Excellence in Education. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study combined both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques. Data were gathered through survey questionnaires and focused group interviews. The sample of the study consisted of 514 teachers randomly selected from schools in Amman and 72 teachers who had directly benefited from Her Majesty’s educational initiatives. The study's findings indicated that Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah plays a highly significant role in enhancing the quality of education in Jordan. The findings also revealed that Her initiatives have notably improved the educational experience for teachers by offering valuable resources, comprehensive training, and recognition. These efforts have contributed to the development of a more effective and supportive educational system in Jordan.
