Medical admission spots decline
The article discusses the decline in the number of medical program seats in Jordanian public universities, which have decreased from around 3,000 a few years ago to less than 700 this year. This is despite an increase in the number of high-achieving students in the national secondary exams and a growing number of Jordanian students studying abroad. The question is raised about the reasons behind this decline, especially given the ongoing need for specialized doctors in public hospitals and the continued establishment of private medical colleges with high tuition fees. The article argues that this reduction poses a problem for meeting the healthcare sector's demand for doctors and raises concerns about the deterioration of educational standards and medical quality. It emphasizes the urgent need to increase the number of seats to keep pace with the demand and the country's healthcare requirements.
