Ministries of Higher Education and Scientific Research and Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said Tuesday that they are actively for several months following up on the situation of Jordanian students studying at the Kazakh Continuing Education University.
The two ministries explained that the Kazakh University of Continuing Education was closed and teaching there was permanently stopped based on a judicial and final decision by the Kazakh authorities, noting that there are 518 Jordanian students studying in this university in the fields of medicine and dentistry, and a number of them have moved to it from Ukrainian universities.
The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research underlined its keenness on the interest of students, and in an effort to help them and mitigate the negative impacts on them as a result of the closure of the Kazakh Continuing Education University, the Non-Jordanian Certificate Equivalency Committee in the Ministry does not object grant these students the exception to enroll in any licensed university operating on the Kazakh lands, to complete their studies, subject to obtaining the approval of the Kazakh Ministry of Education and Science.
Also, the committee does not mind exempting them from the condition of studying 50 percent of the study plan hours approved in the other university from which the student will graduate, noting that the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research will meet on Wednesday with the Kazakh ambassador in Amman to discuss this issue and demand solutions that preserve the interest of Jordanian students.
