The Four Fields for Cohort 2010: Official Update and Next Steps
The Jordan Education Council announced amendments to the 2026/2027 plan and set the four official academic field names for cohort 2010 only (students entering Grade 11 in 2026/2027).
This update does not apply to cohort 2009, who entered secondary in 2025/2026, and does not affect their current plans or fields.
The Four Official Fields (Cohort 2010)
According to Jara'a News coverage of the Education Council decisions and statements by Dr. Wajih Oweis (Council Chair) and Dr. Mohammad Shehada (Council Rapporteur) via Maqar News, the four fields for students entering Grade 11 in 2026/2027 (cohort 2010) are:
- Health
- Science, Technology, and Engineering
- Humanities and Social Sciences
- Business
These are the four official names approved by the Council. Any other name or a fifth field (such as a mixed fourth field, or a languages/sharia/law field) is not part of the official announcement and should not be relied upon.
English and Mathematics: Mandatory and Ministerial
English is now mandatory for all four fields and will be examined in the Tawjihi exam (advanced level, as stated in the announcements). This decision applies to cohort 2010 in all fields without exception.
Mathematics (according to Dr. Shehada's statement and published decisions) will become a ministerial subject in Grade 11, taught and examined locally at school within the four ministerial subjects (Arabic, Islamic Education, Jordan History, and Mathematics), replacing English in that ministerial group for cohort 2010.
This clarification is based on published press statements. We advise students and families to verify the official ministry text when published, as precise details (such as the distribution of subjects between ministerial and Tawjihi exams, and the complete curriculum model) have not yet been finalized.
What Remains Without Official Details?
Not yet published:
- The detailed model of mandatory and elective subjects within each field.
- Precise formulas for GPA calculation or university competition.
- Admission tables and university major requirements for this system.
- Lists of subjects to be examined in Tawjihi versus ministerial subjects.
Any information about these points must be verified with the Ministry of Education or your school when official bulletins are issued.
How Does This Affect Students Today?
If you are cohort 2009 (currently Grade 11 in 2025/2026), this update does not apply to you. Your current study plan and fields remain as they are under the system you entered.
If you are cohort 2010 (currently Grade 10 in 2025/2026), this announcement means the four fields listed above are the framework you will choose from when entering Grade 11, and that English and Mathematics will be part of your study plan in a specific way (English in Tawjihi, Mathematics ministerial in Grade 11 according to statements).
What remains for you today:
- Focus on current studies without constant worry or anticipation.
- Follow official announcements from the Ministry or school when issued.
- Do not make final decisions based on details that have not yet been published (such as elective subjects or admission tables).
What Will We Do at TawjihiAI?
We will update the fields page and other support pages when official details are confirmed by the Ministry and the complete curriculum model is published. Until then, we maintain the current framework and direct students and families to verify with the official source rather than publishing incomplete or assumed information.
Use Zaki to organize your questions and thoughts, and use the Question Bank to focus on daily study. The tools available today (GPA calculator, notes, practice) remain effective and useful regardless of administrative system updates.

Practical Step Before You Continue
Do not build a final academic or university plan on partial information. Wait for the complete model from the Ministry and focus your energy today on current study.
Write three simple sentences on paper:
- What do I know now? (Four official fields, English mandatory, Mathematics ministerial according to statements)
- What do I need to verify? (Complete subject model, admission tables, GPA formulas)
- What's today's practical step? (Review a lesson, solve questions, prepare a clear question for school)
This small exercise turns anxiety into clear steps and prevents you from falling into a spiral of questions that have no official answer yet.
Remember
Official decisions are built on published texts from the Ministry, not on personal interpretations or unconfirmed posts. We implement details in our pages when officially confirmed, and until then, we stay calm and focus on study.
