The Cabinet had decided two weeks ago to proceed with the procedures to start implementing the first phase of the school transportation project in partnership with the private sector, which will be applied for the first time in the Kingdom, and will provide comprehensive and free school transportation for students in government schools, so that the student bears no cost.
The implementation of the first phase will begin in the Southern Badia regions and will include 60 schools spread across the governorates of Karak, Tafilah, Ma'an, and Aqaba, and will gradually expand to include all the governorates of the Kingdom, especially the Central Badia and Northern Badia regions.
