Education Ministry spokesperson Mahmoud Hayasat said Saturday that land allocated to teachers under the ministry’s housing fund project ranges from 300 to 600 square metres per plot, across seven governorates: Amman, Zarqa, Irbid, Tafileh, Karak, Aqaba and Mafraq, with prices varying by location.

He said allocation criteria consider teachers’ housing and professional needs, ensuring projects are integrated with services. The decision covers teachers enrolled in the housing fund.

The ministry announced Friday the rules of the project, publishing details and locations on its website. Applications open Monday and run until 30 September through the employees’ platform.

Hayasat said the initiative follows Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan’s directives to provide land for teacher housing as part of a broader package supporting educators, recognising their role in shaping future generations.

The government has allocated 1,039 land plots through the Public Corporation for Housing and Urban Development, offering them to teachers at discounts of up to 50% compared with market value.
