With only three boys schools open in 1970, Oman now has over 1,000 government run schools, providing free education from grades one to twelve, for both boys and girls.
In 1998 and 2007, the "Basic" and "Post-basic" education structures were introduced respectively, which are similar to the UK's primary and secondary systems. Further reforms have seen the introduction of a broad national curriculum, new teaching strategies, educational resources and types of student assessment.
"Basic" education comprises two main parts: Cycle One (grades 1 to 4) and Cycle Two (grades 5 to 10).
"Post-basic" education comprises grades 11 and 12.
In Cycle One, boys and girls are educated together, while from grade 5 onwards they are educated separately.
There is a mandatory national curriculum for schools in Oman, however, teachers are encouraged to design their own activities and develop new teaching techniques and materials.
Continuous assessment techniques are used in assessing students' achievement.
Child-centred activities are promoted in Omani classrooms
English language is taught from Grade 1.
The Ministry of Education in the Sultanate of Oman is committed to going global and tapping into the benefits of international school partnerships. There has never been a better time to form a partnership with an Omani school.
