One of the key priorities set out by Oman’s vision for the future, ‘Oman 2040’ is to become a knowledge-based society built on the principles of citizenship and genuine Omani identity, supported by scientific research and innovation.
The Ministry of Education created a new national curriculum framework aimed at developing students’ key competencies, such as critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills. To support the implementation, the Ministry partnered with us to develop teaching and learning resources for Key Stages 1 to 5.
In 2016, the Ministry of Education announced plans for a more rigorous approval framework to raise the standard of textbooks available in state schools. We worked with The Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST), an independent organisation under the Ministry, to provide capacity development during this period of curriculum reform. This collaboration grew from IPST’s work with Cambridge International Examinations to review and refine the new curriculum.
The Kazakh government adopted a trilingual policy requiring schools to teach subjects in Kazakh, Russian, and English. NIS, an elite network of schools with no previous experience of publishing, planned to support the new curriculum through writing and publishing trilingual textbooks for five core subjects. We were instrumental in designing a programme of training and remote capacity development support.
