Digitising school curricula a gateway to integrated education
MUSCAT: The continuous modernisation of the education system and the enhancement of digital transformation processes in distance education through the use of information and communication technology in teaching and learning represent a fundamental starting point for the Ministry of Education in the Sultanate of Oman, through the digital transformation process it is currently implementing. The launch of the Omani Curriculum Digitisation Project fulfils the ministry's objectives regarding the e-learning strategy by converting curricula into interactive digital books, offering a wide range of diverse interactive digital educational content. The Omani Curriculum Digitisation Project is an initiative to transform curricula in the Sultanate of Oman into interactive digital content. It aims to promote digital transformation in education and provide an integrated, technology-based learning environment for students and teachers. The Ministry of Education, represented by the Directorate-General of Curriculum Development, mentioned that the digitisation of the Omani curricula is part of an integrated digital transformation plan that aligns with the goals of Oman Vision 2040. The ministry seeks to transform curricula into interactive digital content that enhances modern learning methods and takes into account students' levels. This will contribute to improving academic achievement, developing self-learning and collaborative learning skills, and equipping students with future skills. This month, the Ministry of Education launched the 'Noor Educational Platform', an integrated electronic environment for managing teaching and learning processes. It enables students to view interactive digital content related to curricula and link them to learning outcomes, contributing to enhanced personalised education for students and reducing reliance on private tutoring. Furthermore, the Directorate-General of Curriculum Development is working to expand the use of quick response (QR) codes in new textbooks to link them to digital content, while continuously updating educational resources and teacher guides and making them available through the Education Technology website on the Education Portal. The website enables students and teachers to access interactive digital books, electronic versions of textbooks and educational films. The ministry is working to modernise the infrastructure of Oman's schools through a project to equip all primary school classes with interactive screens and increase Internet speed. This will ensure an integrated educational environment that promotes interactive learning.

From souq bargaining to mobile taps: rethinking money in Oman
Mobile wallets are reshaping how Omanis spend, but only financial literacy can ensure this transformation leads to empowerment, not risk. Oman's cashless era is here. Mobile wallets are transforming how people shop, save, and send money from the souq to their smartphones. However, as transactions become faster and easier, the real question is whether financial literacy can keep pace with this convenience. It begins with a tap: no coins, no banknotes, no receipt, just a quiet confirmation tone from your phone. The transaction is over before you've even registered for it. Oman's cashless era is not approaching; it is here. According to the Central Bank of Oman, mobile payment transactions surged from 4.9 million in 2022 to 40 million in 2023, a dramatic 700 percent leap valued at approximately RO 1.44 billion. That surge was only the beginning. Today, mobile wallets are widely used for everyday needs, from paying utility bills and sending remittances to, increasingly, small purchases in places like Muttrah's markets. This shift is not just technological; it is psychological. When money moves without changing hands, spending can feel less tangible. The 'cashless effect,' identified by behavioral economists, shows that people are more likely to spend when the payment process is frictionless. A seamless tap replaces the tactile pause of handing over banknotes or scanning. That ease is attractive, but it can quietly erode financial discipline. Frequent small purchases, made without thought, can accumulate into a larger financial burden by month's end. Culturally, the change is visible in the souqs. Bargaining in Muttrah or Nizwa has always been about more than price; it is a social ritual, built on the rhythm of conversation and the physical exchange of notes. Mobile wallets, with their quiet efficiency, alter that rhythm. The act of counting cash, a moment when both buyer and seller reflect on value, is being replaced by an instant transfer. The tradition of negotiation remains, but the texture of the exchange feels different in a world where money is invisible. Younger generations, raised in a digital-first world, are often the most enthusiastic adopters. But their comfort with technology does not always translate into sound money management. A recent study of rural Omani millennials found that trust, perceived security, and confidence with technology strongly shape attitudes toward mobile wallet use, reinforcing the need to combine adoption with targeted education. Older generations, too, face adjustments as they move away from familiar cash-based systems toward digital platforms that require new habits and security awareness. Yet the technology that enables overspending can also strengthen financial control if used consciously. Modern mobile wallets offer real-time transaction alerts, automated expense categorization, monthly summaries, and savings goal trackers. Many users are discovering that these features can act as a personal finance dashboard in their pocket. But awareness is key: a tool is only as effective as the person using it. Without the literacy to interpret and respond to the information provided, these functions remain untapped potential. Financial literacy in this context means more than knowing how to pay. It is the ability to set realistic budgets, track spending, plan for savings, and safeguard funds from fraud. It includes security practices such as enabling biometric authentication, recognizing phishing scams, and avoiding insecure networks for transactions. In many Omani households, money management has long been a family affair. Savings were often pooled for weddings, home building, or education, while remittances from abroad played a crucial role in supporting relatives. Mobile wallets now facilitate such transfers faster and more seamlessly, but they also alter the psychology of saving. What once required visible discipline — envelopes of cash set aside, or trips to remittance counters can now be handled instantly with a few clicks. That convenience is powerful, but it also risks reducing the sense of deliberation that once shaped collective financial choices. Industry research into small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Oman has revealed that while mobile payments can enhance efficiency, challenges such as high transaction fees and authentication issues still deter some businesses. These findings highlight an important lesson: financial literacy is not only for consumers, but also for the entire economic ecosystem, ensuring that all participants can effectively and sustainably adopt digital tools. Oman's Vision 2040 places digital transformation at the heart of national progress, and the rise of mobile wallets fits squarely within this agenda. The next step is aligning this digital leap with a parallel leap in capability. Educational institutions can integrate digital budgeting into curricula, using anonymized mobile payment data to teach real-world financial skills. Fintech companies can embed prompts and insights into their apps, encouraging users to review spending patterns and set goals. Public campaigns can help normalize financial planning as a necessary part of digital life, rather than an optional extra. Trust is central to sustained adoption. Users must believe their money and personal data are secure. This requires clear communication about fees, robust data protection policies, and visible measures to prevent fraud. Service providers who combine technological efficiency with customer education are building not just client bases, but long-term confidence in the digital financial system. The responsibility is shared. Fintech innovators must design systems that encourage positive financial behaviors. Regulators must ensure that rapid innovation is matched by strong consumer protection and literacy initiatives. Individuals must recognize that while digital payments make spending easier, they do not make money limitless. When these elements align, mobile wallets can be more than a payment method; they can be a driver of personal empowerment and national economic resilience. The speed of change presents both promise and risk. Technology adoption occurs quickly; developing the habits of using it wisely takes time. Oman is advancing rapidly toward a fully cashless environment, but the question is whether the country will also become fully literate in managing money in that environment. The danger is not in technology itself, but in the gap between capability and convenience. The cashless present is shaping the future. Each tap is more than a purchase; it is a choice, a habit in the making, and a small step in one direction or another. Technology will not make that choice for us. It will only make our chosen path easier to follow, whether it leads toward financial confidence or financial vulnerability. The opportunity before Oman is to ensure that this transformation is not just about speed and efficiency, but about building a society prepared to thrive in a world where money moves invisibly, but consequences remain very real.
