The Context We Work In as of 2025

Education in Jordan continues to face structural challenges, despite progress in access. Key challenges include:

80% of 15-year-old students do not meet the minimum proficiency level in reading, according to PISA 2022.

A gender gap in learning outcomes in favor of females, with a clear decline in boys’ performance at the secondary level.

Declining completion rates at the secondary level, dropping from 98.8% in Grade 1 to 64.6% in Grade 12.

51% of schools suffer from overcrowding.

79% of persons with disabilities, according to the 2015 census, do not receive any education.

Education financing remains heavily focused on recurrent expenditures, at nearly 90%, limiting structural reform.
