Tawjihiis 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 just like that of the Uk tariff points, transforms the Grades/Marks of these foreign educational programs, to the same marks used in grading Tawjihi students. However, even after the equivalency transformation, non-Tawjihi graduates aren't allowed 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 acquire a place in their desired faculty. The reason for this, is that the quota set for the quantity of seats was decided in the 80's when approximately only 4 schools taught international programs, and the number of places allocated seemed fair. In fact, seeing the insignificant amount of foreign program graduates, who applied for national universities, it was. Today, but nearly 25 schools teach IGCSE/GCSE/GCE programs alone.

Some argue the amount of places is more than fair, plus some the contrary. In all cases the problem is a supply of much heated debate. Private schools are constantly wanting to convince the National Assembly of Jordan to improve percentage. For the anatawjihi.combeing there is apparently no want to achieve this.

The ministry of Education claims that it has no problem with increasing the amount of places, and it is in reality the universities that do not agree. On some level that is rather true, as universities benefit more by the registration of more students as international i. e. paying international fees.

Another supply of trouble could be the system used to transform exam outcomes of foreign education programs into the anatawjihi scale, which is a percentage out of 100. Again, some start to see the system as fair and in reality over lenient with non-Tawjihi graduates, while some see it as unfair. Below is a summary of the requirements to receive an equivalency of Tawjihi, as stated by the British Council Jordan.
