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 Advanced schooling, via a system just like that of the Great britain 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 allowed to contend with Tawjihi graduates for public university places. For non-Tawjihi graduates, there's a set quota of 5% of places. Most graduates of foreign programs end up paying international fees to get a devote their desired faculty. The reason behind 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 quantity of places allocated seemed fair. Actually, seeing the insignificant quantity of foreign program graduates, who requested national universities, it had been. Today, however, very nearly 25 schools teach IGCSE/GCSE/GCE programs alone.

Some argue how many places is more than fair, and some the opposite. In every cases the problem is a supply of much heated debate. Private schools are constantly trying to convince the National Assembly of Jordan to improve percentage. For the anatawjihi.combeing there appears to be no plan to do this.

The ministry of Education claims that it does not have any problem with increasing how many places, and that it is in fact the universities that 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.

Another source of trouble is the system used to transform exam link between foreign education programs into the anatawjihi scale, which is really a percentage out of 100. Again, some start to see the system as fair and actually over lenient with non-Tawjihi graduates, although some view it as unfair. Below is just a summary of the requirements to get an equivalency of Tawjihi, as mentioned by the British Council Jordan.
