The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research disregarded as “untrue” reports on media outlets that some public universities are considering granting additional marks to specialization subjects to students who receive the Corona vaccine.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Muhanad Khatib, said that monitoring the marks for university students is subject to the legislation in force in each university
Khatib urged all media outlets to investigate the accuracy of the news being circulated and not to publish news that harms the reputation of the Jordanian higher education sector.
On the other hand, the ministry said that it is following up on the plan to vaccinate faculty members and workers in Jordanian universities and colleges, in addition to university students, which will have the largest role in promoting the return to in-class education on campus at the beginning of the next academic year 2021/2022.
