Dr Abdullah bin Khamis Ambusaidi, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Education for Education, stated that this five-year initiative holds significant importance in enhancing students' health environment, serving as a key tool that positively impacts their academic achievement. He added that the total number of schools participating in the initiative since its launch has reached 566 across various educational directorates in the governorates. These schools implement the initiative's programmes in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Al Jisr Foundation for Charitable Works. Sulaiman bin Nasser al Hiji, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Health for Administrative and Financial Affairs, emphasised that this initiative stems from a strategic partnership to serve the public good, particularly by promoting health in school environments. This will be achieved through improving students' learning conditions, enhancing their academic performance, preventing diseases, reducing absenteeism, supporting their mental well-being and instilling lasting healthy habits — enabling them to focus, engage and learn more effectively.

Additionally, the foundation will oversee the initiative's implementation and collaborate with specialised teams from the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health to develop a visual identity and an operational guide for the initiative. Efforts are also underway to prepare an electronic platform, which will be launched at a later stage. - ONA

Over 51,000 students register for higher education programmes
Muscat – A total of 51,027 students have registered for the 2025/2026 academic year through the Unified Admissions Centre of Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation, marking completion of the first phase of the admissions process. According to the ministry, the figure includes 25,706 male and 25,321 female students. The applications are for a wide range of opportunities, including government higher education institutions, internal and private sector scholarships, as well as scholarships and grants from abroad. The next phase – the Modify Your Choices window – is set to begin following announcement of the General Education Diploma results in July. During this period, students can review and rearrange their academic choices based on their final grades in consultation with their families. To assist students in making informed decisions, the centre will release the results of a pilot screening in the first week of July. This preliminary screening will be based on first-semester performance and current programme preferences. Describing the Modify Your Choices phase as a cornerstone of the admission process, Unified Admissions Centre noted that registration at this stage is considered final for participation in the first round of screening. This will be followed by interviews, admission tests and medical examination, depending on programme requirements. A new procedure introduced this year includes a separate registration mechanism for private-funded study programmes at Sultan Qaboos University and for specialisation programmes at private universities. A dedicated guide for these programmes will be issued and registration will open once the first round of screening is complete allowing students to prioritise government-funded options first.

The number included 25,706 males and 25,321 females. The figures reflect the number of students who applied to the HEAC to contest seats in government higher education institutions, internal scholarships, private sector grants, external scholarships and grants from Arab countries for the academic year 2025/2026. The applicants will be given an opportunity to change their study preferences during a "Choice Modification" period that follows the announcement of results of the General Education Diploma (GED) exams in July 2025. The Higher Education Admission Center announced that the outcome of the first sorting will be made public during the first week of July 2025. These results are based on students' performance in the first semester and their current placing of the programmes of their preference. The aim is to enable the students to amend their choices and make the most appropriate decision in consultation with their parents. The "Choice Modification" period plays a significant role in a student's admission, because registration during this stage becomes final ahead of the 'First Round Sorting'. This stage is followed by procedures like personal interviews, admission tests and medical tests, in accordance with the requirements of the academic programmes. - ONA
