Nonstate & Low-Cost Private Primary Schools in Jordan  

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Middle East Bureau and the USAID Mission in Jordan commissioned this study on nonstate schools (NSSs) and low-cost private (LCP) schools through the Middle East Education, Research, Training, and Support (MEERS) program as a continuation of similar research completed across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in 2019 and 2020.1 It is intended to assist the Jordan Ministry of Education (MOE) in describing the conditions of NSSs and LCP schools across the country, and examine their relationship to the public system and their role in advancing national and international development goals.
