AMMAN — The current logistic planning unit at the Education Ministry “does not meet the aspirations of a ministry with big importance and tasks”, Minister Omar Razzaz said on Monday.
The lack of logistic planning was witnessed at the beginning of the academic year with overcrowded classrooms and shortages in teachers and furniture, Razzaz was quoted as saying by the Jordan News Agency, Petra, during a meeting with media representatives.
The minister attributed overcrowding of classses to the unexpected number of students who transferred from private schools, especially in Amman, Zarqa and Irbid, noting that the phenomenon has become “confusing” to the ministry.
