Officials approve university law amendment
The Jordanian Senate Council approved an amended draft law for the Universities Law of 2026, with the aim of updating higher education legislation and improving university governance. The amendments include the formation of Boards of Trustees for both public and private universities, increasing the number of members and guiding the selection criteria based on competence and experience. Additionally, annual performance indicators will be established to evaluate the boards. The council also called for a comprehensive national assessment three years after the implementation of the law to measure the impact of the amendments on education quality, while working to enhance universities' capabilities to diversify their income sources and expand their investment activities. The goal of the law is to improve the quality of education, align it with the labor market, and keep pace with international practices in university management.
