The Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Mohammed Abu Qudais, said that the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II, even before the Corona pandemic, have always been stressing the need to integrate e-learning in the educational system at schools and universities. During his visit to Yarmouk University and his meeting with the President of the University, Prof. Nabil al-Hilat, vice presidents and deans of faculties in the seminar and conference building, Abu Qudais said that Jordanian universities will continue using blended and online education after the end of the pandemic. He explained that while there will be lectures in the traditional image on campus, other lectures will be delivered remotely.

Abu Qudais then pointed out that the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research is developing plans and study programs and that it is setting new general principles for admission into Jordanian universities by reviewing the requirements of universities and establishing a general framework for their development in line with the requirements of the labor market and its need for skills like innovation, management skills, English language skills, leadership skills, and community responsibility. The Minister stated: "We want the graduate student to create a job, not to find it”. Moreover, he emphasized the importance of scientific research in serving national priorities and providing solutions for the issues that afflict the Jordanian society.

The President of the University, Prof. Nabil al-Hilat, said that the Minister's visit to the university reflects the government's interest and support of the university and its students, professors, and staff. He added that Yarmouk University, through its distinguished human cadres, will spare no effort in continuous improvement and modernization at the levels of the on-campus education, distance learning, hosting distinguished students, supporting scientific research, and raising the capabilities of researchers towards research and innovation projects. He also stressed that Yarmouk University, in accordance with its strategic plan, seeks to facilitate networking with national, regional, and international scientific research institutions.
