Editor's note: This article was written in response to Saned Raouf's article Buy avalide online without prescription, on 7iber.com about the Tawjihi.

I have waited until 120,000 students finally get their marks, and reach today the end of the 'tragic' path of Tawjihi, to reply to the estimated blogger Saned and talk about the Jordanian general secondary certificate (Tawjihi).

Despite the fact that I agree with a large part of Saned's post, Buy generic avalide online, especially the social pressure and the necessity of changing the system, there were some points I find unfair and exaggerated, and some personal points that have no coincidences with my personal experience of Tawjihi.

First of all, I'm one of the Tawjihi students who made their exams in 2004, the year of the Tawjihi-gate , when some exams were stolen and sold to nearly all Jordanians students (except me), avalide without prescription, that was surely a cheap shot to the Jordanian education system, but although I agree with the need of changing something of the Tawjihi and I believe we need a total renovation of our obsolete educational system, there are some points I will discuss to explain that Tawjihi itself is like another school exam (I've understood this after years of university) and that thousands of students who succeeded in Tawjihi deserved that, and they should not underestimate their past efforts.

1- Tawjihi depends on how much you memorize and how much you understand. Personally, I have not a good memory; in addition, I think it's impossible to memorize something without understanding it, buy avalide online without prescription. Purchase avalide without prescription, However, I've known nothing by heart and the majority of my answered question were general ideas, I was rewriting what I've learned in class or paraphrasing some sentences in the textbook and the result was almost good; I've got fine marks on these subjects, especially in "Social Studies".
In reality, there is not a Social Studies book, it is called "General Culture" and it is unscientific and totally unrelated with culture, online pharmacy avalide, and after many students and instructors complained about the quality of this book, the ministry finally decided to change the book this year. But we must mention that this subject together with the Islamic Studies are the two worst examples: most of the marks depend on subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, Avalide sale, geology and other subjects like Arabic and English that are impossible to memorize.

2- Tawjihi marks are normal distributed, only one or two students will get a full mark on Math exam, but more students will get a 90% mark and more will get 80% and so on. Buy avalide online without prescription, And if you take a full mark, that's the fruit of your efforts and not of your teacher.

3- Tawjihi questions are sometimes wrong, well, errare humanum est, canadian avalide, we have Tawjihi for more than 30 years, and it is normal to find two wrong questions. Take in consideration that Tawjihi exams have something like 500 questions (yearly).
Another thing I have noticed in Tawjihi is that many teachers tell students that a particular question is wrong, but if you ask the same question to a more experienced teacher or a university professor he will contradict your teacher and will give you the right answer. Buy avalide from us, 4- The last-years fashion of private tuition is ridicule, I'm sure you know a lot of people who got a reasonable mark without private tutors, and vice versa. My personal opinion is that private tuition is more a social prestige rather than an educational need, buy avalide online without prescription.
And about some Tawjihi students and their new hobby: collecting "dosyyat". Well, it's the most time-spending activity they may have since most of these "dosyyat" are repetitive, bad-organized and not educative, canadian pharmacy avalide.

5- Tawjihi makes you study physics, and that's a good thing, not only if you will study Engineering at university. Students get in the secondary stage a scientific knowledge base ; this will help them know more about the world that they live in. Even if some scientific subjects will not benefit you directly Buy avalide online without prescription, in your future studies, or you don't like them, they will provide you some necessary scientific facts you should know and the needed information that build a common base for all sciences. Even if you will study architecture you have to know who Niels Bohr was. Fda approved avalide, 6- Tawjihi's new system allows those who do not pass the exams for the first time to repeat them on the same year, so if we have 14 Tawjihi subjects we will get something like 25 exams: this means we need at least 25 days to take all of them (If we count an exam for day), this is why Tawjihi exams period is so long .

7- We also know that most students do not fail at their first exams, some exams need more preparation time than others (i.e Math, Physics), there are subjects you can take in Summer or Winter, avalide bangkok, there are exams on subject not all the students take (Islamic Studies, French.. etc); all these make the Tawjihi's schedule very complex and do not allow to have the same quantity of time before each exam. However it is practically impossible to create an "optimal" schedule for all the students, buy avalide online without prescription.
(In Saned's post there is a complain about having 3 days before English exam and only a half day before Social Studies, what Saned pretends is a clear contradiction to students' fear of English exam shared by the majority of Jordanian students, Cheap avalide in canada, and in reality most students fail English test and get good mark at Social Studies).

10- Students are not obligated to study in toilets; the assumption that this is one of the wrong things of Tawjihi is absurd.

11- Let's see how Tawjihi exams are corrected (I know two correctors that told me the steps as written here, you can also ask any corrector if you want more details)

a) For each exam different correctors are chosen, the correctors are instructors who work for the Ministry of Education.
b) Correctors are distributed based on what they teach: biology teachers correct biology exams, Arabic teachers correct Arabic exam, order avalide without prescription, and so on. Buy avalide online without prescription, It's impossible that a physical education teacher will correct math papers.
c) An answer key is given to each corrector.
d) Personal information on each answer sheet are sealed and hidden, this operation is done right after you complete your exam in the examination hall.
I remember when we finished our exams, Cheapest generic avalide online, the answer sheets were grouped, after that, personal data were covered by folding a paper sheet on the first page and then glued. This operation was done in front of us.
e) The location of the correction operation is chosen randomly, buy avalide online without prescription. Aqaba's instructors will correct Amman 's papers; Aqaba's papers are corrected in Irbid… There is only a minimal chance your paper will be corrected in your city.
f) An answer in your paper is first corrected by a corrector.
g) A second instructor reviews your answer and re-corrects it, cheap avalide.
h) A third corrector finally assures there are no mistakes in the first and second correction. Buy avalide online without prescription, i) Another answer is corrected by other correctors.
j) When all answers are corrected, the summation of your point is evaluated.
k) The score of every answer is inserted into the computer, and the data entry is warned if the computer-generated summation is different from that of step (j). Cost of avalide, 12- Tawjihi hall conditions are terrible, because many school rooms in Jordan are terrible . Do you know that most of the students (in public schools) take their tests in their school halls, only private schools students have to go to different institutions.

13- Tawjihi defines you, only because you are obsessed with Tawjihi, right now, after three years of my Tawjihi no one asks me of my marks or if I was in scientific or arts stream, buy avalide online without prescription.
Let's be serious. Many people with bad marks on Tawjihi get a job, an education and they reach a good economic level and have a fine social reputation, avalide australia, some of them only with their talent become of the most famous Jordanians. On the other side, a typical Tawjihi genius rather studies medicine to become one of the 5,000 Jordanian doctors or simply choose a faculty only for a social conviction that it's better, without any ambition. Low cost avalide, Jordan is full of these cases. Buy avalide online without prescription, 14- Tawjihi is against non-Jordanians. I don't think so. First of all, correction procedures I've mentioned above do not allow to see your personal data. Then I have not noticed that number ones are Jordanians, at the contrary, all we unfortunately know Mohammad Asha , avalide cheap drug, the brilliant Tawjihi student who won a scholarship to Jordan University's medical school since he was one of the "top ten" Tawjihi students, do you know he is from Hebron.

This is one case, but I invite everyone to see accurately the students with the highest marks of the last years, I have done that and I have found that non-Jordanians are the majority.

"Authorities will never hesitate to take off points from you to let the son or daughter of an Army member to be number one in school." I think it is normal not to trust in some institutions, but do you think this is a little exaggerated, buy avalide online without prescription. Avalide cheap, How many sons of generals and commanders you know that got good marks. I know some of them and they have either studied outside Jordan or took very low grades and entered universities by the military quota.
I will ask another question: Is every number one in all Jordanian schools a son of an Army member.
For non-Jordanians: University quotas are one of the most unjust procedures of Jordanian education system, they may permit a son of a soldier, a diplomatic, a university employee in addition to some residents of rural zones and Palestinian refugees camps to get a university scholarship even if his Tawjihi's marks do not allow that, buying avalide online. Buy avalide online without prescription, 16- Many students prefer to get ICGSE, IB or SAT not because these systems are better , but because a big part of them studied for years in private schools with American and British curricula and these exams are also easier , i.e. it is more probable you will get a high mark on IGCSE rather than Tawjihi. And that is not an opinion, it is a fact. Let's see the statistics: 9.9% of students got an A grade or above in IGCSE, the Tawjihi equivalent is 95/100, and only 321 students in the kingdom had this grade (that is 0.003% !!!. The same difference appears if we talk about SAT, 85% of students passed SAT exams in 2006 when the Tawjihi's percentage was 63.6% in one of its best years.^[1]

17- I have not memorized words in English; the glossary was 12 pages long, and I think no one can memorize 12 pages of words and definitions.

Points 8,9,15 and 18- Tawjihi kills, right, the people and the students are obsessed with these exams and the families are preoccupied for their sons, buy avalide online without prescription. In Jordan if your son gets jailed it is normal, but his failure in Tawjihi will be the most embarrassing and shameful thing that may happen.

The main problem is that Tawjihi is connected with university admission , and the Jordanian society thinks that a university education is a must for all students.

If we will be able to create a system in which university admission is unrelated (or partially related) to Tawjihi scores, we will solve major Tawjihi problems, students and families will be less stressed, Tawjihi will have less importance and students will have a bigger opportunity to choose the college and the major they prefer.

Issa, thank you for your post. I wrote a comment on Saned’s post and I agreed with many of the points he mentioned, but I guess the conclusion I came up with was that it’s not about Tawjihi in itself: it’s the whole way we look at education and learning. It’s “the fact that Tawjihi is connected with university admission , and the Jordanian society thinks that a university education is a must for all students.” This is what turns the mark into the ultimate goal, this is what creates all the ridiculous pressure, makes parents obsessive, and drives teachers to ask students to memorize what shouldn’t logically be memorized.

I also took tawjihi in 2004, and I never underestimate the efforts I made or look back at the year as a bad experience. I learned a lot from tawjihi; I never memorized anything until I fully understood it, I practiced organizing my time efficiently, and I was amazed at the amount of knowledge I was able to take in. But how much of this knowledge do we actually keep? Spoon-fed information is short-lived. IGCSE and IB may be easier, but they teach you skills of self-learning, essay-writing, critical reading, and research. True, these are not as hard as memorizing, but a more difficult task is not necessarily more rewarding.

Tawjihi is not bad at all as a secondary school exam. But it’s what it’s connected with, what comes before and after it. A hole in our system, to me, is that very few people reach the age of 17 with a clear vision of what they want to do in life, let alone a vague idea. Most leave it to chance, to the tawjihi result. We don’t study what is needed in our country but what is socially conventional. The education system (not the books, not the exams, but the teaching, the mentality, the objectives) does not encourage creativity and curiosity. What is the purpose of learning if not developing one’s personality and sense of identity? Is it all about getting into university, getting a degree, finding a job that you don’t necessarily enjoy, making money and then starting a family?

I’ve drifted away from the topic:)

Your post about IGCSE is not subjective AT ALL.

I admit the an A is easier to get(in some subjects ONLY ) and its equivalent to 95% in tawjihi.But you know?That doesn’t count even if an A is 120% in tawjihi!

IGCSE students compete against each other for the 5% seats in universities.After all,it doesn’t matter how our marks or statistics compare with the tawjihi s’.We compete by how many subjects each of us have and how many A* out of these subjects you got.And to get a seat in medicine,for example,you have to do 24 subjects and score A*’s or A’s in all of them.I dare any tawjihi student to do that.

It’s hard work for three years and you are left even more devastated than tawjihi students, because after doing those 24 subjects,there are ONLY 2 medicine IGCSE seats in the university to compete for.And A-levels by the way are extremely hard compared to tawjihi.

If you want to compete for a seat in any university with IGCSE,you have to work a lot harder than every student who is studying a different system here in Jordan.

I agree with Yanal up there,Your post about IGCSE as well as the SAT subject tests are not subjective at all. I mean you work extremely hard in highschool through 10-12 and they end up taking the final year 12 into consideration,which is quite unfair actually.Not to mention,the 7 SAT subject tests along with an Arabic Alevel;freakin’ HARVARD asks for 3SATIIs and YALE&MIT ask for 2SATIIs,and honestly they’re definately more acredited,not to mention of a MUCH higher caliber. What annoys me the most is the fact that they divide the grade out if 100;as in if you get a 700/800 (an excellent score,unfortunately not ‘good enough’ for Jordan) is an 87.5/100,and I’m sorry but that’s considered AVERAGE. In addition to all thr hard work and stress you’re subjected to,there are 5% of the seats left out for Internationals. So please do enlighten me,and explain to me how on Earth that’s even romotely fair.

Well good luck with that,because it’s absolutely unmerited.
