AlAnbat - Haya AlSaber

The President of the Amman and Jordan Industry Chambers, Eng. Fathi AlJaghbeir, appreciated the decision of the Minister of Education to compel the purchase of private schools in school uniforms from local factories, praising the efforts of the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Supply in pursuing the implementation of government decisions to support national industry.

He added that this decision, which follows the earlier Prime Minister's communiqué, contributes to support for the local industry, especially the industry, whose exports account for 27% of total national exports and a value of about 1.6 billion dinars.

AlJaghbeir explained that the crochet sector employs about 74 thousand workers and 29% of the total employment in the industrial sector. Jordan's employment accounts for about 25% of the total employed in the crochet sector. The number of Jordanian workers has increased significantly in recent years as a result of the productive branches of the crochet factories in the governorates.

He pointed that the decision will contribute to the recovery of complementary industries for school uniforms, sewing concerns, local fabric dealers, increasing exports and expanding investment in the sector, especially since statistics indicate that there are approximately 450 thousand students educated in private schools, where local factories can meet the needs of various private schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for school uniforms and high quality.
