House approves accreditation bill
The Higher Education Accreditation and Quality Assurance Authority Bill was approved by the Jordanian House of Representatives in 2026. The goal is to enhance the quality of education and training across all levels and forms of education, including public and private schools, universities, and vocational and technical training institutions. The law aims to align educational outcomes with the requirements of the labor market, improve the international rankings of Jordanian universities, and increase the competitiveness of graduates both domestically and regionally. The law includes standardizing accreditation procedures, expanding the authority of the authority to recognize non-Jordanian institutions and to recognize equivalency of certificates. It is part of a broader effort to develop the education system and achieve the goals of the economic vision and modernization in the public sector. It also stipulates the merging of two previously independent entities under the name "Accreditation and Quality Assurance Authority," with the aim of improving institutional performance, ensuring compliance with international standards, and increasing the credibility of certificates and qualifications.
