One agreement
stipulates a 25-million euro grant to finance the salaries of part-time
teachers in Jordanian public schools, as part of a project to support Syrian
refugee students’ access to formal education, the ministry said in a statement.
The other grant
agreement, which amounts to 7 million euros, will be directed to finance the
consultancy services needed to prepare designs for building schools.
Shraideh expressed
the government’s thanks and appreciation to the German government for its
continued support to Jordan in various fields. Germany is one of Jordan’s key
partners in the development and reform process, and its assistance contributes
to supporting important sectors, such as education, water and sanitation.
The German
government also plays a great role in supporting Jordan to deal with the
burdens resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and Syrian refugee crisis, and in
mobilizing the necessary international support to help the Kingdom overcome
these circumstances.
The minister said
that the provision and sustainability of foreign aid to Jordan reflects the
respect and appreciation of the international community for Jordan, and its
regional and global role under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah, and
constitutes a recognition of Jordan’s reform efforts in all fields.
It is also proof that
international and donors understand Jordan’s development needs and the
magnitude of the challenges and burdens it faces.
