The school system has three stages: 6 years compulsory primary school, 3 years preparatory secondary school and 3 years actual secondary school. All school education is free. Almost as many girls as boys attend primary and secondary school. Most children and young people complete school education up to the upper secondary level and 98% of young people under 25 are literate. Investments have been made to equalize educational level differences between cities and countryside, as well as to raise the educational level of the adult population. The rapidly increasing demand for education has led to many students on government grants studying abroad. At the same time, the teacher shortage has led to a significant import of teachers.

Education

Education in Oman is a priority for the country and its citizens. The government of Oman is dedicated to providing quality education for all of its citizens, regardless of gender, religion, or socio-economic status. This commitment has resulted in an educational system that is comprehensive and high-quality.

Oman has a long history of providing formal education, dating back to the 19th century when a school was established in Muscat. Since then, education in Oman has grown substantially, with both public and private schools available to students throughout the country. The public school system is free and open to all students; however, private schools are also available for those who wish to pursue higher levels of education or specialize in certain areas.

The Ministry of Education is responsible for overseeing the educational system in Oman. It sets curriculum standards, provides funding for schools and universities, and administers examinations. The ministry also works closely with other government ministries to ensure that educational opportunities are accessible throughout the country.

Primary schooling is compulsory for all children aged 6–14 years old in Oman; however, many children begin their education earlier than this age if their parents choose to send them to kindergarten (kuttab). Primary schooling consists of five years of study at a primary school followed by two years at an intermediate school. Upon completion of primary schooling, students can apply to secondary schools which offer either general or technical courses depending on their interests and abilities.

At the tertiary level there are several universities including Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), which is the oldest university in Oman established by royal decree in 1986. SQU offers undergraduate and postgraduate degrees as well as research programs across various disciplines such as engineering, medicine, business administration and law among others. In addition to SQU there are several other universities offering degree programs including Higher College Of Technology (HCT), Caledonian College Of Engineering (CCE) and Middle East College (MEC).

In recent years there has been an increased focus on technical education with initiatives such as Vocational Education Training Institutes being launched across the country offering specialised courses related to various industries including hospitality management, automotive repair & maintenance etc., enabling students from different backgrounds gain skills that will benefit them when they enter the job market after graduation.

In conclusion it can be said that Oman’s commitment towards providing quality education for all its citizens has resulted in an educational system that offers something for everyone; from primary schooling through tertiary level qualifications as well as vocational training options enabling people from different backgrounds gain skills necessary for successful employment after graduation or further study abroad if desired.
