The Jordan Education Reform Support Program (JERSP) was a comprehensive initiative implemented by the Government of Jordan with support from the World Bank to improve educational outcomes across the Jordanian education system. The program was designed to address key challenges in the education sector, including limited access to early childhood education, inadequate teacher professional development, and the need for improved assessment frameworks and quality assurance systems.

JERSP focused on several strategic priorities: expanding access to early childhood education by universalizing Kindergarten (KG) 2 and enrolling over 50,000 new 5-year-old students; developing and implementing a Quality Assurance System for kindergarten education; establishing National Teacher Professional Standards and conducting teacher evaluations; developing a blended learning strategy to incorporate technology into education; and designing a comprehensive national student assessment framework to monitor learning outcomes.

The program utilized a results-based financing approach, where disbursements were linked to the achievement of specific, measurable outcomes. This approach incentivized the Jordanian government to focus on achieving tangible results rather than merely implementing activities. The World Bank provided financial support through a guarantee mechanism that helped secure funding for the program while ensuring accountability for results. This initiative represented a significant step in Jordan's efforts to modernize its education system and prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century.
