What is the Tawjihi Track?
Tawjihi is the general secondary examination (in Arabic:امتحان الثانوية العامة) in Jordan, West Bank and Gaza, part of education in Jordan and in Palestine. Upon graduation, the ministry of Higher Education, through a system similar to that of the United Kingdom tariff points, transforms the Grades/Marks of these foreign educational programs, into the same marks used in grading Tawjihi students. However, even after the equivalency transformation, non-Tawjihi graduates are not allowed to compete with Tawjihi graduates for public university places. For non-Tawjihi graduates, there is a set quota of 5% of places.
Most graduates of foreign programs end up paying international fees to get a place in their desired faculty. The reason for this, is that the quota set for the number of seats was decided in the 80's when approximately only 4 schools taught international programs, and the number of places allocated seemed fair. In fact, seeing the insignificant number of foreign program graduates, who applied for national universities, it was.
Today, however, almost 25 schools teach IGCSE/GCSE/GCE programs alone.
