I don't find Jordan's literacy rates a relevant proof to "high education levels" among Palestinians living in the occupied territories.

(1) One is Jordan, the other is the occupied territories
(2) Literacy is not exactly "best education".
(3) Even if we assume "higher literacy rates = best education" and "Jordan's literacy rate = education level of Palestinians living in occupied territories", then you are still faced with Lebanon whose literacy rate of 89% in 1985 exceeds that of Jordan.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. The point was that Palestinians living under occupation with maybe a couple of high schools and a university or two (in Jerusalem, etc, rather than in occupied territories) cannot possibly have "the best education" among all Muslim nations. Sheer numbers make this impossible, even if one is to assume the quality of education in these few establishments to be excellent.
