Amman: Prime Minister Hassan has emphasized the importance of holding cabinet sessions in governorates as a crucial step toward achieving unified development planning across the nation. On the economic front, he highlighted that the economy remains the government’s top priority due to its direct link with unemployment and poverty. “We cannot succeed economically without strong, supported, and active private sector participation alongside local and foreign investments,” he stated.
According to Jordan News Agency, Hassan pointed out that economic workshops held at the Royal Hashemite Court are designed to integrate updates into the Economic Modernization Vision. This initiative aims to enable sectors to adapt to global developments and recover missed opportunities. He announced that intensive workshops will soon be held at the Prime Ministry with stakeholders across sectors to develop the government’s three-year executive program under the Economic Modernization Vision. This program will form the working plan for the government and each ministry, which will also be shared with Parliament for oversight.
Addressing public sector reform, Hassan remarked that the focus must remain on productivity and service quality. He stated that every public servant, irrespective of rank, must serve the country and its people by providing solutions and easing procedures. Plans are underway to meet with ministry secretaries-general ahead of launching the economic modernization implementation workshop, highlighting their crucial role in execution and the importance of activating middle-management leadership. Merit and accountability, he added, would be guiding principles.
In the areas of health and education, Hassan pledged significant improvements in infrastructure, human resources, and service quality. He cited a direct insurance agreement with King Hussein Cancer Center that now covers 4.1 million citizens, describing it as a pivotal step toward expanding universal healthcare. He noted that 100 schools have been earmarked for urgent upgrades, in addition to others already targeted by the Ministry of Education. Having personally visited many of these schools, he confirmed that funding has been secured for rehabilitation efforts.
The Prime Minister expressed gratitude to the private sector for its contributions to education and health infrastructure under its corporate social responsibility commitments, adding that donor support remains steady. “Our priority now is execution,” he stressed. He emphasized the importance of student-centric learning, curriculum development, and teacher training. The government has already taken several decisions to support educators and plans to continue expanding these efforts.
