'Omani qualification necessary to teach in the Sultanate'

Muscat: Students should not privately study teaching majors outside of Oman if they want to work in the Sultanate as a degree obtained outside will not enable them to work in Oman.

According to a statement by the Ministry of Education: “The Council of Education’s decision in 2015 dictates that the hiring of Omanis as educators at the Ministry of Education only includes graduates of higher education institutions from within the Sultanate, as well as official scholarship holders who were sent abroad by the Ministry of Higher Education.

“This was applied to all students studying teaching majors starting from the academic year 2016/2017," the statement said.
