During the closing session of the "
Year of Reform"
government forum, attended by His Majesty
King Abdullah II on Saturday,
Khasawneh stated that it will become the Ministry of Education and Human
Resources (التربية
والموارد البشرية), replacing the
Ministry of Education (التربية والتعليم),
Saraya News reported.
He explained that this change reflects the comprehensive
development of the entire
educational system, running parallel to the
comprehensive education sector reform program. This program starts with
preschool stages, then schools, followed by higher education. It moves away
from
stagnant specializations and transitions towards
professional and technical fields, in addition to non-stagnant academic disciplines that provide
greater employment and career prospects.
Civil service reforms
He confirmed that in the current year, no more applications
will be accepted in the
Civil Service Bureau's registry, and the Bureau's
current form will conclude. It will be replaced by a Civil Service Commission
and a
General Administration at the beginning of the coming year. This new
structure will serve as a regulatory and administrative body for human
resources.
He stated that appointments will become decentralized, with
ministries appointing their employees. The Commission will ensure that
appointees meet governance, competence, merit, and eligibility criteria for
non-centralized positions.
The
Prime Minister further explained that starting from the
previous year, appointments will begin at a rate of 40 percent through
competitive selection from outside the registry. This will lead to completely
phasing out the registry within 3 years through their employment.
