AMMAN — The Lower House Education Committee on Wednesday met with Higher Education Minister Labib Khadra, the ministry’s secretary general, Hani Dmour, and several presidents of Jordanian universities.
MP Bassam Btoush, who chaired the meeting, said it discussed a draft to resolve the financial crises facing public universities ahead of sending it to Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour and the Higher Education Ministry, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Btoush called for reconsidering some university majors and study plans, noting that part of the solution includes improving human resources. Dmour said the draft includes a summary of the financial situation of universities, noting that what students pay covers only 30 per cent of education costs.
