Higher Education Clarifies Cancellation of the "Shamel" and Bridging Programs
The Higher Education Council in Jordan has decided to abolish the General Exam in order to improve admission policies and ensure the quality of education. This move comes after the exam was rendered unnecessary due to advances in the academic evaluation system within universities and the availability of regular assessments for students throughout their studies. Advisor Mohannad Al-Khatib noted that this decision aims to motivate students to enroll in professional and applied disciplines and relies on the cumulative GPA or the results of the bridging exam instead of the General Exam. Additionally, the decision reduces psychological pressure, increases opportunities to join technical colleges, and prevents inflation of grade averages, all while maintaining oversight of the quality of educational institutions through an independent authority.
