Hossam Awad reviews 30 years of Tawjihi exam changes
The article traces the changes experienced by the General Secondary Education Certificate (Tawjihi) exam system in Jordan over approximately 30 years, from 1996 to 2026. It has gone through several phases and major transformations, including modifications to exam regulations, academic and vocational branches, curricula, methods of calculating grades, and question formats. The system initially implemented a two-semester model, then transitioned to a full academic year system, introducing the six academic fields, which were later reduced to four by 2027. Additionally, revisions included merging subject levels, restructuring vocational tracks, expanding the use of objective questions, and developing curricula by making them less dense. The Tawjihi system eventually evolved into a two-year program combined with the field system, aiming to keep pace with educational and pedagogical advancements. The focus has been on improving exam quality and achieving a balanced assessment of students.
