The Board of Education has approved amendments to the high school (Tawjihi) curriculum, which will take effect starting the 2026/2027 academic year. This comes as part of the Ministry of Education’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of the educational process and improve its outcomes, based on feedback from the educational field and the opinions of specialists and experts.

The amendments include reducing the number of academic tracks for 12th-grade students from six to four, allowing students to better align their choices with their abilities and interests.
Additionally, the changes make English a compulsory subject in the Tawjihi examinations for all tracks after students have successfully completed the 12th-grade curriculum. The four tracks are: Health, Science, Technology & Engineering, Humanities & Social Sciences, and Business.
The amendments also designate Mathematics as a subject for the official ministry exam alongside Arabic, Islamic Education, and Jordanian History, after students have passed all 11th-grade subjects.
The Ministry of Education explained that the new amendments focus on increasing the specialization of academic tracks. Students in science-oriented tracks will study mostly scientific subjects, while students in humanities-oriented tracks will focus on humanities subjects, thereby deepening specialization while considering students’ interests and academic capabilities.
The Ministry emphasized that these amendments bring multiple advantages, enhancing the quality of education by maintaining vertical integration between 11th- and 12th-grade subjects. They represent a developmental step in a comprehensive plan to modernize the secondary education system, aligning it with global educational trends and preparing students for higher education and the labor market.
