Tawjihicould 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, through a system similar to that of the Uk tariff points, transforms the Grades/Marks of these foreign educational programs, into the same marks used in grading Tawjihi students. However , even with the equivalency transformation, non-Tawjihi graduates are not permitted to take on Tawjihi graduates for public university places. For non-Tawjihi graduates, there is a set quota of 5% of places. Most graduates of foreign programs wind up paying international fees to get a place in their desired faculty. The cause of 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 quantity of places allocated seemed fair. Actually seeing the insignificant amount of foreign program graduates, who sent applications for national universities, it absolutely was. Today, but very nearly 25 schools teach IGCSE/GCSE/GCE programs alone.

Some argue the number of places is more than fair, and some the opposite. In most cases the issue is a supply of much heated debate. Private schools are constantly wanting to convince the National Assembly of Jordan to increase percentage. For the anatawjihi.combeing there is apparently no want to do so.

The ministry of Education claims that it doesn't have problem with increasing the amount of places, and that it's in reality the universities that do perhaps not agree. On some level this is rather true, as universities benefit more by the registration of more students as international i. e. paying international fees.

Yet another source of trouble may be the system used to transform exam link between foreign education programs to the anatawjihi scale, which is really a percentage out of 100. Again, some begin to see the system as fair and actually over lenient with non-Tawjihi graduates, while others notice it as unfair. Below is just a summary of the requirements for an equivalency of Tawjihi, as mentioned by the British Council Jordan.
