Ostathi
Economic Model
In the 21st century, nations are no longer measured only by natural resources or
infrastructure. The true measure of prosperity is human capital — the education, skills, and
expertise of people.
Yet in many countries, this resource remains underutilized, untapped, or confined to informal
economies.
This vision is already gaining media attention, with Jordan Times and Roya News emphasizing Ostathi’s impact on capacity building and the role of education as an economic catalyst.
Ostathi was created to change that. More than a digital platform, Ostathi is a national growth partner, integrating into the economic fabric of every country where it operates. Its model is designed to unlock, distribute, and monetize human expertise — turning knowledge into a driver of sustainable economic prosperity.
The model builds on the proven expertise of UniHouse, a UK-based consultancy recognized by the UK Government and The Daily Telegraph, whose Capacity Development Evaluation Framework (CDEF) is aligned with World Bank and UN quality standards.
The Ostathi Economic Model reflects a broader movement aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the World Bank’s Human Capital Project.
By connecting local expertise to global opportunities, Ostathi positions Jordan as the launchpad for a model that can be scaled across the Middle East and beyond.
Core Pillars
Six Core Pillars of the Ostathi Economic Model
1. Empowering Local Entrepreneurs and Creating Jobs
Ostathi provides a "business-in-a-box” for tutors and trainers, transforming individuals into entrepreneurs. Instructors gain sustainable income, control over their careers, and a verifiable contribution to the tax base. Unlike gig platforms, Ostathi acts as a job creation and small-business incubation engine.
2. Bridging the National Skills Gap
Ostathi works in alignment with national curricula (K–12) and workforce strategies, connecting learners with trainers in high-demand fields. This approach directly addresses skills shortages, ensuring that the workforce is competitive, productive, and future-ready.
3. Democratizing Access and Driving Social Equity
Instead of concentrating services in luxury city centers, Ostathi invests in community-based hubs. These hubs ensure that youth, women, and underserved groups have equal access to learning and economic opportunities — turning education into a driver of social mobility and equity.
4. A Partnership for Government and National Vision
Ostathi is a tool for governments seeking to leverage human capital for national development. The platform offers scalable solutions for population-wide upskilling, curriculum alignment, and competency tracking. This positions Ostathi as a partner in achieving Vision 2030 agendas, SDGs, and national education reforms.
5. Integrating the Informal Economy into the Digital Future
Much of tutoring and training operates informally, outside tax systems and financial institutions. Ostathi formalizes this sector by embedding secure digital payments. This creates income histories for instructors (unlocking access to loans and credit) and transparent, taxable activity that strengthens national economies.
6. Generating Actionable Data for National Policy
Ostathi generates anonymized, real-time insights on skills demand, education gaps, and geographic disparities. This data helps ministries, donors, and planners design evidence-based interventions — transforming Ostathi into a strategic intelligence partner.

Jordan as the Launchpad
Jordan has been chosen as the first national hub to implement the Ostathi Economic Model. With its young population, strong digital infrastructure, and commitment to educational reform, Jordan provides the ideal environment to showcase how human capital can be transformed into a driver of national growth.
Conclusion
The Ostathi Economic Model demonstrates how education technology can move beyond classrooms into the realm of economic and social transformation. By formalizing the informal, empowering instructors, and generating actionable data, Ostathi shows that human expertise can become one of the most powerful drivers of national growth.
Ostathi is a global platform for instant learning and training, connecting verified experts with learners across all levels and skills. Jordan is the first national hub to implement this model at scale, setting the foundation for replication across the Middle East and beyond.
The Ostathi Economic Model is fully aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the World Bank’s Human Capital Project, positioning Jordan not just as a national pilot, but as the launchpad for a transformative approach to education, capacity building, and digital innovation.
