Jordanian Tawjihi reforms over 30 years
The history of the General Education Certificate examination system in Jordan has seen 26 major changes over nearly three decades, from 1996 up to the 2026/2027 academic year. The first changes began with the implementation of a two-semester system in 1996, which was then abolished in 1997. Since then, the system has undergone various transformations, including the creation of supplementary summer and winter courses, reorganization of branches and curricula, development of methods for calculating grades, increased use of objective questions, and a shift to a two-year system with two tracks: academic and vocational. Additionally, the number of academic fields was reduced from six to four, along with modifications to curricula and subject weights according to educational stages. These adjustments aim to improve the quality of exams and align them with educational developments, amidst an increasing reliance on technology. It is expected that the system will continue to evolve in the coming years to ensure it meets the requirements of education and employment in Jordan.
