AMMAN — Several Jordanian students who recently returned from Yemeni universities picketed the Higher Education Ministry on Wednesday, the third time they have staged a sit-in since their return home due to the unrest in Yemen.

The majority are medical students protesting a mandatory entrance examination which was set in accordance with the ministry’s conditions for accepting them at local public universities.

The students said the examination was “deliberately difficult” to prevent them from being admitted into public universities.
