Oman's education system needs more improvement: study
- Oman: Monday, December 31 - 2012 at 04:18
According to the 'Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study' (TIMSS 2007-11) report, Omani students lag behind their international counterparts in mathematics and science, Muscat Daily has reported. With the international average at 500 points, Omani students have scored below average marks in both the subjects, the report said. Omani students in grade four scored 385 points in mathematics and 377 in science. The study concluded that students in grade four were a year behind their international counterparts as far as knowledge is concerned. "An academic score of 90 percentile in Oman is equivalent to 15 percentile by a student in Singapore," said Aidan Mullein, a consultant with the World Bank who was associated with the study. "Oman has a long way to go as far as quality is concerned. The education standards fall way behind as compared to Korea and Singapore. This is not criticism of Oman as it is doing well compared to its neighbours, but it needs to do a lot more in future."
