He said the move was in view of the growing number
of students enrolling in public schools, of the natural population growth, and
of the waves of refugees who came to Jordan seeking shelter.
Ajarmeh added that the effect of the
COVID-19 pandemic was only made clear this year, since education was remote during the
past two years, and the number of students who had moved from private to public
schools could only be properly assessed at the beginning of the current
scholastic year, when schools, went back to in-person education.
According to Ajarmeh, no schools were built during
the past two years because of the pandemic and the ensuing economic challenges.
He said that the ministry was able to accommodate
all 240,000 students who moved from private schools by instating the
double-shift system, renting new schools, and making use of all public school
facilities.
Ajarmeh added
that transfer from private to public schools is still possible, even though the
school year started.
