Jordan Lifts Restrictions on Poultry Imports from Brazil - Jordan News
The Ministry of Agriculture has lifted the previously imposed restrictions on poultry meat imports from Brazil, following the clearance of avian influenza concerns, according to Musbah Al-Tarawneh, Assistant Secretary-General for Livestock Affairs at the ministry. اضافة اعلان In a statement to Al-Mamlaka on Wednesday, Al-Tarawneh explained that Jordan had imposed restrictions in June on Brazilian poultry imports after a case of avian influenza was detected. He noted that Jordan imports an average of 8,000 to 10,000 tons of frozen chicken annually from Brazil, with the majority being used in local restaurants. Al-Tarawneh emphasized that technical teams at the ministry are closely monitoring health developments in countries exporting animal products and affirmed that the ministry will not hesitate to take necessary decisions to protect public health and the agricultural sector. Back in mid-June, the Ministry of Agriculture had announced the suspension of imports of live poultry and untreated poultry products from Brazil due to confirmed cases of bird flu. The decision was taken as a precautionary measure in line with the ministry's policy of safeguarding animal wealth, public health, and food security in the Kingdom. At the time, the ministry had stated that the suspension would remain in effect until the epidemiological situation in Brazil improves, and verified reports are received from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) confirming the outbreak is under control and that Brazilian veterinary authorities are implementing appropriate preventive and monitoring measures. It is worth noting that Brazil exported $10 billion worth of chicken meat last year, accounting for about 35% of global poultry trade.

Completion of "Tawjihi" Exam Grading and Start of Verification Process - Jordan News
The Ministry of Education has completed the grading process for all subjects of the General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi), according to Director of Examinations and Assessments at the Ministry, Mohammad Shehadeh. اضافة اعلان Speaking to Al-Mamlaka on Wednesday, Shehadeh stated that the grading and mark entry processes have been finalized. The relevant teams at the ministry have now begun the verification and auditing phase of the exam booklets and answer sheets. He added that the ministry will not set a date for the announcement of results until all verification procedures — including auditing, cross-checking, and data entry — are fully completed, ensuring the accuracy of the final outcomes. Shehadeh emphasized that administrative and technical teams are making substantial efforts to release the results according to the ministry's established timeline. Extracting final grades requires extensive time and effort even after grading, to ensure that all student rights are preserved. He explained that each answer booklet undergoes a comprehensive multi-stage review process, which includes more than 27 steps, involving multiple specialized committees to inspect, audit, and cross-check both manually and electronically — ensuring accurate correction and mark aggregation. In a previous statement, Shehadeh estimated that the Tawjihi results would likely be announced during the first third of August, noting that results typically require 3 to 4 weeks to process after the final exam. This year's exams concluded on July 10, having begun on June 19, with approximately 209,871 students participating. He reaffirmed that the Ministry of Education is the only official source for announcing the results and their release date, urging the public not to believe any rumors or unofficial reports.
