Specializations face freeze and intake cuts
The article discusses the Ministry of Higher Education's plan in Jordan to reduce the number of admissions in certain specialized fields, particularly in medicine and dentistry, with the aim of maintaining education quality and ensuring that capacity aligns with demand. The ministry has decided to admit 640 students to medicine and 320 to dentistry, while suspending enrollment in over 94 other programs. Additionally, 69 new programs have been introduced to better match the labor market needs. It was also mentioned that the total number of students accepted at public universities will range between 45,000 and 47,000, with an increase in intermediate diploma seats to promote technical and vocational disciplines. This strategy follows an incremental plan over the past four years to ease enrollment numbers and reduce pressure on health colleges, relying on data analysis and artificial intelligence forecasts to improve future admission processes.
