Years Of Experience
Background
Jordanian and Palestinian universities adopt an education system based on credit hours, where student
loads are calculated quarterly by the number of weekly hours the student spends face-to-face in the
classroom, and teaching is done for 16 weeks each semester. The academic year is divided into two
semesters, the fall semester and the spring semester, with students having the option to enroll in an
intensive semester, which is the summer semester.
The Background and Rationale of The Project are as follows
The decrease in student enrollment in science faculties in Palestine and Jordan, coupled with the lack of work options for graduates, has resulted in a high rate of unemployment for these graduates.
This is a result of science graduates receiving a foundational education in the sciences without the requisite professional training or practical experience.
Sustainability and Dissemination Manual
Additionally, the project will focus on developing a manual to ensure the sustainability and dissemination of results.
This manual will serve as a resource for other universities in the partnering countries and beyond, enabling the broader application of the project’s successful practices.
