AMMAN — HH Prince Mired, president of the Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, on Wednesday met with the CEO of Orange Jordan, Thierry Marigny, to discuss means of enhancing cooperation in digital education for people with disabilities.

Prince Mired referred to challenges that people with disabilities face in various fields, particularly in education, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that e-systems and online educational platforms did not meet the needs of students with disabilities, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
