Oman education: Online admissions for Indian schools in Sultanate starts

Muscat: Online admissions process for Indian Schools in Oman began on Sunday.
Every year, the board receives more than 4,000 applications for admission to six Indian schools in the capital area for classes KG I to IX.
In 2016, the board received around 4,700 applications.
“Due to a large number of parents seeking admission for their children, the demand generally outstrips the total number of available seats in all schools in the capital. Today, the total number of students in all Indian schools stands at 45,000 with a sizeable number in six capital schools,” a statement from Indian School Board had said.
According to the statement, there is a demand for more seats for admissions from KG I to Grade II. “BoD is fully aware of its social responsibility and is doing everything possible to augment the infrastructure,” it added.
