Khaberni - The increase in the allocations of the University Student Support Fund by direct royal guidance reflects a firm conviction that the future of the Jordanian economy starts in university halls and that students can no longer afford the cost of education amidst the current economic reality without actual and organized intervention.
The fact that the fund’s allocations have reached forty million dinars should not be seen merely as a financial figure, but as a starting point to redefine the role of the state and the private sector in supporting higher education and transforming it from a financial burden into a long-term national investment project.
In this context, the Jordanian National Union Party calls on banks, financial institutions, and major companies to take up their national role and contribute directly and sustainably to financing the University Student Support Fund, in line with their profits and their role in the economy, and in harmony with the clear royal directive aimed at protecting the youth and enabling them.
The party also confirms that the private sector's contribution to education is not just a moral choice, but an economic necessity to ensure a qualified labor market, reduce unemployment, enhance social stability, and that any approach that does not rely on partnership between the state and the private sector will remain insufficient in achieving the desired impact.
