AMMAN — The head of the
Civil Service Bureau, Sameh
Al-Nasser, said on Saturday that 39 majors that are classified as unwanted or
stagnant by universities and colleges will not be accepted by the bureau if
students have registered for them after 2020, in accordance with the provisions
of Article 40/b of the Civil Service System No. 9 of 2020, according to
Khaberni.

During a press
conference announcing the scientific disciplines required by the civil service
for 2022, Nasser said that some professions will disappear and others will be
created in the upcoming period, and that the Civil Service Bureau informs
universities and institutes of what is required in the upcoming period.
The Civil
Service Bureau held the press conference to guide students and their parents
toward majors that are required in the labor market and inform them of the
majors that are not required.
According to
Nasser, unemployment is prevalent among those holding a university degree and
Tawjihi (general secondary education certificate examination) certificates or
less, adding that 61,000 university engineers are on the Civil Service Bureau’s
lists.
The stagnant BA
majors include political science, philosophy, sociology, foreign languages,
teaching, archaeology, banking sciences, tourism studies, marketing, hotel
management, journalism, business administration, environmental studies, and
accounting among others.
On Saturday,
Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Wajih Owais revealed that
there are about 400,000 unemployed graduates.
Owais told
Al-Mamlaka TV that “the abolition of the parallel program in universities is
now being proposed, and an alternative is being searched for,” noting that the
parallel program has contributed to a significant increase in the number of
students heading to universities.
He explained
that “about 95 percent of Tawjihi graduate students go to universities, and
only about 5 percent go to vocational and technical education, so the gap
between supply and demand has become large.”
“We must balance the
outputs of higher education with market needs, and we have lost control over
this for several reasons that have occurred in higher education in the past two
decades,” according to Owais.
