This article
provides a description and analysis of the development of the education
system and its stages in the context of Oman, at the level of formal
school. This descriptive analysis constitutes three core objectives.
First, to focus on the development of education in Oman; Second, to
explore each stage of these developments, and lastly to evaluate the
extent to which the developments are consistent with the intended aims
of education development in Oman. I will meet these objectives by
analyzing studies that evaluate the education system in Oman. In the
beginning of this article, I focus on the stages of development
undergone by the education system in Oman, in particular before and
after 1970. This analysis found that despite changes implemented by the
Ministry of Education (MOE) intended to improve the education system, no
significant change has occurred. In fact many of the weaknesses of the
previous system continue to exist. The main contribution of this
evaluation is that it provides policy makers with the most up-to-date
information and evidence on the condition of the current education
system. Also, this research highlights some key obstacles which prevent
the education system from improving. Subsequently it is hoped that the
MOE can work to find solutions to overcome the obstacles that may
prevent the further development of the education system in Oman. Whilst
providing a robust evaluation, this article has two main limitations.
First, it is based entirely on one data collection method which is a
review of the literature. It has no supporting evidence which might
corroborate or validate the literature review findings. The second
limitation is that despite every effort made to be objective and
systematic in the reviewing process, it is inevitable that the analysis
and findings include an element of the author’s biases. Cite This Article As: Al Najar N (2016). View of Education development in Oman. Inter. J. Acad. Res. Educ. Rev. 4(1): 10-18
