Al-Khatib, a spokesperson for the
Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, said that the Higher Education Council approved “a certain number of
academic seats for cancer patients, taking into account their health
conditions”.
He said the
beneficiaries will be named during the unified university admission period.
Khatib noted that the seats will be available and announced by the Unified
University Admission Coordination Unit at the King Hussein Cancer Center.
The spokesperson
confirmed that the Ministry of Higher Education applies the Rights of People
with Disabilities Law No. 20 of 2017, which states that “it is not acceptable
for a disability to be a reason to prevent a student from accessing Jordanian
higher education institutions.”
Khatib maintained
that there are up to 1,000 seats allotted for students with disabilities for
all undergraduate programs.
