Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences said on Monday that it will provide Jordan with 20 million U.S. dollars to support the educational sector in the country, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
At a meeting in Amman with Jordan's Education Minister Mohammad Dhneibat, the director general of the foundation Adan Shehab said the supports seek to advance the Jordanian educational sector and reduce challenges and burdens on Jordan amidst hosting a large number of Syrian refugees.
The support is part of Kuwait's commitment at the donor countries conference held in London earlier this year to help Jordan cope with the consequences of hosting 1.3 million Syrian refugees.
The Jordanian official said the government will open more schools soon for the teaching of Syrian children upon receiving the grant from Kuwait.
He said there are some 145,000 Syrian students at public schools in Jordan.
Discussions also covered challenges Jordan is facing in various areas amidst the ongoing crisis in Syria.
