The Reality of the Quality of the Education Delivered in the Vocational Education (VE) Course in Jordanian Public Schools

Abstract

The present study aimed to explore reality of the quality of the education delivered in the vocational education (VE) course in Jordanian public schools. The study’s sample consists from eighty (80) supervisors supervising the vocational education (VE) course in the directorates of education located in the Northern Province (Irbid, Ajloon, Jarash and Mafraq). To meet the goals intended from this study, the researcher of the present study developed the study’s instrument (i.e. a questionnaire). The study’s questionnaire sheds a light on the quality standards related to the vocational education curricula. It was found that the sampled supervisors have neutral attitudes towards the quality of the education delivered in the vocational education course in Jordanian public schools. The researcher recommends creating partnerships and promoting cooperation between the Ministry of Education and the Technical and Vocational Skills Development Commission (TVSD). Such partnerships and cooperation must aim at increasing the extent of meeting quality standards in the vocational education curricula.
