AMMAN — Education Ministry Secretary General for Administrative and Financial Affairs Sami Salaytah has said that the ministry merged 651 classes with fewer than 10 students and closed 28 schools with fewer than 20 students.

The measures were part of the ministry's plan to improve the quality of education in remote areas, Salaytah told Al Rai and The Jordan Times Tuesday. Salaytah said that phase two of the project will include closing schools that have fewer than 40 students and so on until schools with fewer than 100 students are closed.
