Abstract

The program is about the development of the Jordanian educational system. Education began in the ottoman period but developed a lot after the foundation of the Jordanian Kingdom , the Great Arab Revolt and the independence of the Kingdom from the British mandate. Education became compulsory for boys and girls especially at primary stages. Interest was given to academic and professional education, to Kindergartens, colleges and secondary schools. The number of teachers has increased from 81 teachers in 1921 to 57671 teachers in 1995. The number of students has also increased and this is due to the quality of education .The educational programs have developed too.
