New system promotes fairness in Jordanian student aid
The article discusses the new changes introduced by Jordan in the distribution system of grants and loans for the University Student Support Fund, aimed at achieving greater justice and transparency in the allocation of support to students. The modifications are based on population density criteria, where 50% of the grants and loans are allocated as a fixed amount to all priority groups, while the remaining percentage is distributed according to the number of students and the population density in each area. These measures aim to reduce disparities in benefits between high-density and low-density regions, while preserving the rights of students in remote areas, promoting equal opportunities, and increasing government support for the fund by increasing allocations and ensuring its sustainability through auctions of special numbers. Additionally, the Ministry of Higher Education has abolished the comprehensive exam and adopted the GPA as the main criterion for program bridging, developing new academic programs, and adjusting admission rates in fields such as artificial intelligence, while reducing the number of medical admissions to ensure quality.
