Amman, Oct. 11 (Petra) -- Education and Human Resources Development Minister Azmi Mahafzah discussed ways to develop cooperation with Norwegian Ambassador to Jordan Andreas Lovold on Sunday, particularly in education.

Mahafzah reviewed the ministry's development plans and programs aimed at improving the education process.

He outlined the state of education, noting the creation of the new Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development under the Economic Modernization Vision and the public sector development roadmap.

The ministry is meant to serve as a single umbrella integrating education from kindergarten and general education through higher education, Mahafzah added.
