MP Mu'taz Al-Harout has submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research over the sharp rise in per-credit-hour fees for certain newly introduced majors at the University of Jordan, which have reached JD100 for competitive-admission seats and JD200 for parallel-track seats.
Al-Harout demanded an explanation of the justification behind these prices, the actual cost of running these programs, and whether they account for what Jordanian families can realistically afford. He stressed that competitive admission should remain based on academic merit, not financial means, and that university education is a right — its high cost should not end up limiting in-demand majors to only those who can afford them.
