Paper Title
Implementing Lean Management Principles in the Jordanian Education System

Abstract
This research investigates the application of lean principles in the education system in Jordan, drawing on the successful implementation of these principles in various fields such as industry, project management, human resources, and maintenance systems. The research emphasizes the importance of a lean-based education system in Jordan for improving teaching and learning operations, enhancing communication among stakeholders, developing worker skills, reducing downtime and losses, and cutting costs. A questionnaire is used to assess six aspects related to multifunctional and flexible workers, training and development, student training, teaching system management, curriculum development, and facilities and general services. The research finds a positive reaction to the potential transformation of the Jordanian education system into a lean-based one.The impact of Multi-skills and Agile Employee (MSAE), Training and Development, Student Training and Qualifying Activities, Teaching System Management (TSM), and Curriculum Development on the development of a lean-based education system (LBES) is examined. All hypotheses are supported with P-values below 0.01, indicating the rejection of null hypotheses. The research identifies "FGS: Facility and General Services," followed by "MSAE," and Training and Improvement as having the greatest potential for improving lean based LBES in the Jordanian education system. The relationship between different lean practices is explored. This research provides valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in lean transformation within education systems, emphasizing the interconnectedness of various aspects for successful implementation.
