Owais said that typically, universities decide on the number of
students according to their capacities, whereas over the past three years, the
number of admissions at the faculty of dentistry was high due to unprecedented
increases in GPA, adding that this will not happen again.
The Accreditation and
Quality Assurance Commission for Higher Education Institutions did not intervene in this unusual
situation; had the commission intervened, it would not have allowed such high
numbers of acceptances, and students would have joined the queue of the
unemployed, said Owais.
He added that the ministry is studying the possibility of opening
a medical university in Aqaba, for which initial approvals have been given,
pointing out that the number of accredited medical faculties in Jordan stands
at six.
