Amman, May 4 (Petra) -- Jordan continues to advance its higher education sector, with several notable developments highlighted in the first quarterly report of 2025 under the Economic Modernization Vision (2023–2025).

As part of efforts to align university education with labor market needs, three Jordanian universities, Amman Arab University, Applied Science Private University, and Middle East University, have partnered with Pearson Education to launch new technical diploma programs. These programs are designed to complement the updated high school curriculum and promote the growth of technical and vocational education across the country.

In parallel, the government approved a new investment fund regulation for Yarmouk University in 2025. The move is intended to empower the university to generate its own resources, enabling it to finance development initiatives and support ongoing academic activities.

The report also pointed to solid progress in infrastructure development linked to healthcare and medical education. Construction of the new Faculty of Medicine has reached 67% completion, while 79% of the associated university hospital has been completed, both part of a broader national project aimed at enhancing Jordan’s medical education and healthcare services.
