Jordan University Opening Ceremony Video from 1962

September 6, 2012 at 12:54 pm · Filed under Amman

This video from 1962 that marks the opening of Jordan’s first university (The University of Jordan) is painfully bittersweet.

As a graduate of the the institution myself, it is funny looking back 50 years, at a time when education actually mattered in Jordan.

How did things get so bad so quickly?
