AMMAN — Around 41,860 international students from

They make up 11 percent of the total number of students, he
added.
Around 11,315 Arab and foreign students enrolled in
Jordanian universities for the academic year 2022–2023, he said, according to
Khaberni.
Some countries have limited student admission to some
Jordanian universities due to a drop in international ranking at some
universities, said Khatib.
To ensure quality, he said, the
Higher Education Institutions Accreditation Commission has set standards for general
accreditation and other criteria for special accreditation for each program.
This aims to increase and improve the quality of university outputs.
Khatib added that official Jordanian delegations would visit
countries that had restricted admission to Jordanian universities to improve
relations.
He noted that a recent visit by a
Jordanian delegation to
Iraq and the Kurdistan region resulted in the re-recognition of all official
higher education institutions for private study and scholarships.
The University of Jordan recently entered the Shanghai
classification, which is considered one of the most important international
classifications. The university became the first Jordanian higher education
institution to enter this classification.
