AMMAN — Mohi Eddin Touq, the chairman of the Higher Council
of the National Center for Curriculum Development announced the introduction of
a new electronic format for the General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi) starting in the upcoming academic year. This change
follows the preparation of a question bank and essential guidelines for test
construction.
The National Curriculum Development Center, responsible for
school examinations, including Tawjihi, is governed by Law No. 33 of 2017,
which mandates the development of assessments and examinations, Al Ghad
reported.
Resulting in a delay
Dr. Tawq highlighted that the center had previously focused
on expediting textbook publication, resulting in a delay in implementing the
new format. However, full coordination with the Minister of Education, Dr. Azmi
Mahafzah, has now activated this initiative.
The Supreme Council for Curriculum Development has recently
approved three new core units: Assessment and Evaluation, Studies and Research,
and Quality Assurance.
The center is currently working on guidelines for
teacher-led school exams and preparing for the new Tawjihi format, which will
span two years and may be conducted electronically.
Under the new secondary education system, students in the
eleventh grade will study all subjects in the curriculum, with success in these
subjects being a prerequisite for the first part of the Tawjihi examination,
focusing on "Common General Culture" subjects.
In the twelfth grade, students will have the option to
choose a field of study based on their interests and career aspirations, with
six fields available: Health, Engineering, Science and Technology, Languages
and Social Sciences, Law and Islamic Studies, and Business.
