The Jordanian education system consists of several stages, including preschool, basic education, secondary education, and higher education. Basic education is divided into two cycles: the first cycle lasts for six years, while the second cycle lasts for three years. Education is compulsory for children aged 6 to 16, ensuring that most students complete their basic education. After completing secondary education, students can pursue higher education at universities and colleges. Jordan has a mix of public and private institutions, with a focus on improving quality and accessibility. The government invests in education to enhance skills and knowledge, preparing students for the workforce.
