Digital curricula rolled out for grades 1 to 12 in Omani schools
Muscat – A national initiative has been launched to digitise school curricula of grades 1 to 12 as part of broader efforts to modernise the country's education system and equip students with digital skills.
Spearheaded by Ministry of Education (MoE), in collaboration with BP Oman, the initiative was unveiled on Wednesday at a ceremony held under the patronage of H E Saeed bin Hamood al Mawali, Minister of Transport, Communications and Information Technology, in the presence of H E Dr Madiha bint Ahmed al Shaibani, Minister of Education.
The school curricula digitisation project aims to convert textbooks and learning resources into interactive digital formats to enhance accessibility, promote self-learning and provide both students and teachers with updated educational tools.
'The curricula digitisation project provides teachers with modern educational tools and supports students with a more interactive, flexible, and comprehensive learning experience that suits their individual needs and abilities,' said H E Dr Abdullah bin Khamis Ambusaidi, MoE Undersecretary.

He described the initiative as central to MoE's strategy to build an integrated, technology-based education system.
The rollout will take place in six phases, beginning with preparatory work to set educational and technical standards, followed by content analysis, development of educational scenarios and digital content production. A pilot phase will be conducted in selected schools before the material is made available on MoE's e-learning portal and the 'Noor' platform.
The digital material will support collaborative learning, improve academic performance, and broaden teaching and assessment methods. The digitisation initiative is also expected to equip students with essential digital and analytical skills for future employment.
