113K students pass Tawjihi, success rate at 60pct
(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Amman, Aug. 16 (Petra) -- About 113,000 students passed the 2020/2021 General Secondary Education Certificate Examination (Tawjihi) with an overall pass rate of 60.8 per cent, Minister of Education Muhammad Abu Qdeis announced on Monday.
He told a press conference that this year's pass rate was the highest in recent years, indicating that the total number of students who sate the exam stood at 185,806 in all academic branches. With a success rate of 65.5 per cent, 29,313 students passed in the scientific stream and 28,492 in the literary branch.
"We have done everything we can to ensure fairness for students," he said, adding that the ministry has followed a transparent and flexible approach.
"Before the exam, we announced the type of questions, point breakdown, and the topics that the exam will cover. We also acted on and addressed all the reports and observations we received about the course of the exam", the minister said.
Qdeis also announced that the ministry has formed an expert task force to restructure and upgrade the exam to be a measure of educational and learning quality and outputs, while maintaining its credibility, stemming from its conviction that a key national exam, such as Tawjihi, should not remain "captive to rigid and traditional patterns that placed heavy pressure on students and families".
