Unified Admission Brings Tuition Fee Crisis to Forefront .. Higher Education Tells "Rum" Decision Rests with University Boards of Trustees

jordan pulse : With the announcement of Unified Admission results and students initiating enrollment procedures at public universities, demands from students and parents to allow first-semester tuition fee installment payments have resurfaced amid growing financial pressures on families, particularly following heavy expenses incurred during the Tawjihi (high school exam) stage.
Students and parents argue that installment plans would alleviate financial stress, enabling students to begin their academic year without burdening their families with a single large payment—especially given high registration fees, credit hour costs, transportation, and overlapping living expenses.
In this context, Advisor to the Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development, Muhannad Al-Khatib, clarified to 'Rum' that deciding on tuition installment plans at public universities does not lie within the ministry's purview. Instead, it falls under the jurisdiction of the heads of university Boards of Trustees, pursuant to the Universities Law.
Al-Khatib emphasized that the ministry cannot intervene in this matter, as the legal authority to determine tuition payment mechanisms rests exclusively with university Boards of Trustees within the established regulatory framework.
As families continue to call for financial relief and legal authority remains anchored with university boards, questions remain as to whether public universities will adopt installment plans to ease the burden on households during this enrollment period.
