Meanwhile, about JD4 million are allocated to support underprivileged university students, totaling some 74,000 beneficiaries, and JD5 million are disbursed to support operating public transport means.

Council of Ministers okayed the mandating reasons for the draft bylaw to form occupational safety and health committees and supervisor appointment in institutions for 2022, aimed to provide worker protection against occupational diseases, improve institutional productivity and reduce work-related injuries and their effects.
The bylaw entails hiring specialists in the occupational safety and health fields to supervise the development of policies, standards, and plans, draft rules, regulations, and technical instructions that should be followed in this regard, and monitor their implementation, in accordance with the latest global practices.
Moreover, the Cabinet approved the mandating reasons for the amended bylaw for Administrative Organization Regulations of the Technical and Vocational Skills Development Commission (TVSDC) for 2022 and the mandating reasons for the draft bylaw for end-of-service gratuity for employees at the Jerusalem Sharia Department and Courts.
