Answer
Based on official Jordanian legal texts
A child's education maintenance under Jordanian law is a core part of child support. Article 190 of the Personal Status Law obliges the father to maintain his children's education across its stages, so education falls within the maintenance owed by a father of means under Article 187, alongside food, clothing, and housing.
Education maintenance — like the other items of maintenance — is assessed according to the father's means, whether comfortable or constrained, under Article 189, and in a way that meets the child's actual educational need. Article 191 addresses the case where the guardian elects to educate the child in private schools and the resulting controls on the obligation according to ability.
Education is thus a right of the child tied to the father's ability: the father is not burdened beyond capacity, and the child is not deprived of basic education where the father is able.
Determining the amount of education maintenance and what it covers remains within the Sharia Court's competence according to the child's need, the father's ability, and the facts of each case.
This is a general explanation based on Jordanian Personal Status Law and does not replace advice from a qualified lawyer in a specific dispute.
