Tawjihimay be the general secondary examination in Jordan, West Bank and Gaza, part of education in Jordan and education in Palestine. Upon graduation, the ministry of Higher education, by way of a system similar to that of the Uk tariff points, transforms the Grades/Marks of these foreign educational programs, to the same marks found in grading Tawjihi students. However, even after the equivalency transformation, non-Tawjihi graduates are not permitted to compete with Tawjihi graduates for public university places. For non-Tawjihi graduates, there's a set quota of 5% of places. Most graduates of foreign programs wind up paying international fees to acquire a devote their desired faculty. The explanation 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. Actually, seeing the insignificant number of foreign program graduates, who sent applications for national universities, it absolutely was. Today, however, almost 25 schools teach IGCSE/GCSE/GCE programs alone.

Some argue the number of places is a lot more than fair, and some the contrary. In most cases the issue is a way to obtain much heated debate. Private schools are constantly trying to convince the National Assembly of Jordan to boost percentage. For the anatawjihi.combeing there is apparently no plan to do so.

The ministry of Education claims that it has no problem with increasing the number of places, and that it's in reality the universities that maybe not agree. On some level this really is rather true, as universities benefit more by the registration of more students as international i. e. paying international fees.

Another source of trouble may be the system used to transform exam results of foreign education programs to the anatawjihi scale, which is really a percentage out of 100. Again, some start to see the system as fair and actually over lenient with non-Tawjihi graduates, although some see it as unfair. Below is just a summary of the requirements to get an equivalency of Tawjihi, as mentioned by the British Council Jordan.
