In Jordan, around 100,000 young people have dropped out of school. After, they are unable to rejoin the formal system and therefore get a college education. In the city of Russeifah, 25 kilometres from Amman, Jordan's capital, there is a second chance scheme underway for children between 13 and 18 years old.

The international organisation Questscope, has run a second-chance programme since 2003 in Jordan. It works with the country's education ministry, which struggles to reach all the poor areas of the country.
