During a visit to the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission for Higher Education Institutions, Crown Prince Al Hussein stressed the importance of improving the quality of higher education, as well as taking measures to address specialties that are no longer desirable in the labour market, and to ensure equal opportunities for students and graduates.
According to a royal court statement, His Royal Highness called for developing programmes that enhance competencies, by promoting a culture of entrepreneurship and excellence in higher education institutions.
