"Journey of Challenge" programme attracts 740 students from across governorates to hone skills

Al Jabal Al Akhdar: As the summer holiday begins, students are eager to invest their free time in meaningful educational and recreational activities that develop their skills and enhance their capabilities.

Educational centres are dedicated to providing engaging and safe programmes that combine learning with enjoyment. They offer a variety of activities such as art workshops, educational camps, sports, self-development programmes, and recreational trips. These initiatives aim to instill positive values like cooperation, discipline, and creativity, while also developing students' talents and motivating them to discover their potential in an atmosphere of enthusiasm and positive energy, learn new skills, and build friendships among participants.

In this context, the Ministry of Education, represented by the Career Guidance and Student Counselling Centre, in collaboration with "Challenge Oman," is implementing a summer programme for students. The programme, titled "Journey of Challenge," aims to empower and develop students' skills and prepare them for future demands through a stimulating, interactive environment that blends learning with practical experience. The programme began this July and will continue until 21 August.

The programme includes 37 specialised training courses with the participation of 740 male and female students from various governorates of the Sultanate of Oman. The courses cover diverse topics focused on building students' character and enhancing their skills in different aspects of life. The sessions are being held in the Wilayat of Al Jabal Al Akhdar in Al Dakhiliyah Governorate and at the Ashour Camp in Dhofar Governorate.

The programme aims to promote self-discovery, build self-confidence, and foster new friendships among students from different governorates. It also includes field visits to the Outward Bound Oman centre in Al Jabal Al Akhdar, which features two educational halls, a theatre, and outdoor learning units, to provide a unique learning and training experience.
