Female enrollment at all levels of school is high and Jordanian women have the highest average number of years of schooling in comparison with women in both Kuwait and Bahrain. While men in Jordan receive 1.7 years more schooling that women in Jordan receive, the difference is considered very low for the region.[16] The drop out rate is not excessive, but women claim their primary reason for dropping out of school (at various levels) is marriage and their responsibilities in the home while men claim they drop out primarily to get jobs and help their families make money.[16]
