Tawjihi now a university entrance exam
The article focused on the amendments made to the secondary education system in Jordan. The final exam, now known as "the General Examination," has shifted its purpose to university admissions rather than serving as the high school diploma awarded after successful completion of the twelfth grade. The secondary education phase was extended from two to three years (tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades), with the integration of science, engineering, and health specializations to facilitate university acceptance. Students now study a set of unified subjects in the first phase and select their specialization subjects based on their preferences and university requirements in the twelfth grade. Mandatory subjects such as Advanced English were introduced as well. The examination system has transitioned to focus on assessing university readiness rather than success in a single test, aiming to better connect secondary education with the demands of the labor market and global education standards. The new system seeks to give students greater flexibility in choosing their academic paths according to their interests, while also aiming to improve the quality of secondary education to meet international standards.
