Authorities endorse university law standards
The Senate Council approved the amended Jordanian Universities Law of 2026, aimed at improving the management of higher education institutions and updating their regulations to align with institutional transformations and national aspirations. The amendments include the formation of boards of trustees for both public and private universities with increased membership numbers and enhanced standards for their selection, focusing on competence, expertise, and integrity. Additionally, annual performance indicators will be introduced to evaluate their performance based on strategic and operational plans. The law also extends its scope to include university and community colleges, emphasizing the improvement of education quality, strengthening governance, and developing income sources for educational institutions through expansion into investment and marketing activities. Furthermore, the law aims to conduct a comprehensive national assessment three years after the implementation of these amendments to measure their impact on the quality of higher education, with a focus on promoting good governance standards and increasing representation of various economic sectors within the governing councils.
