‘14 private schools out of 37 rectify their status’

AMMAN — Fourteen private schools out of 37 have rectified their status after the Education Ministry warned them for admitting more students than they can accommodate as stipulated in their licences, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Monday.

The 23 violating schools constitute less than 2 per cent of the total 1,281 private schools in Jordan, the ministry’s private education administration said.

The ministry also called on parents to ensure that schools they want to enrol their children in have obtained the necessary licences, Petra added.
