“…However, as the results indicate, teachers are not succeeding in incorporating this ICT into their daily practice. Teachers fear that ICT will dramatically shift traditional education into a new pedagogical environment where teachers are not adequately familiar with its objectives, content, and learning outcomes (Abuhmaid, 2009;Zaidiyeen, Mei &Fook, 2010;Akour & Shannak, 2012).…”

The unrest in the Middle East has created vacuums where authoritarian and democratic powers are in conflict. Education in all countries is at the heart of the challenges to leadership. In most Middle Eastern countries, graduates from middle school upward have been guaranteed employment in the government. Failure to meet this promise has left thousands of youth who are educated but unemployed. Further fueled by the overwhelming number of refugees, leaders in Jordan, Lebanon, and Israel are threatened by the unemployed and refugees' access to technology and their democratic demands. Authoritarian countries such as Iran and Turkey are emphasizing religious education in order to increase the control of their people. Research, on-site visits and media reports provide the basis for this study which identifies three forces of the educational conflict: religious education, informal education, and access to technology. The possible solutions for future educational directions provide a roadmap for the future.
