Efforts are being made to implement the interactive screens project in schools in the Sultanate of Oman as part of the Ministry of Education's push to promote digital transformation and utilise modern technology in education. This initiative is a key component in creating a modern and engaging digital learning environment.
This step aims to activate an interactive learning environment that enhances the quality of the educational process and encourages students to learn through innovative methods. It is aligned with the national digital transformation strategy led by the Ministry of Education, which seeks to equip public schools with interactive screens and effectively integrate them into classrooms to support active learning and enhance the technical skills of both teachers and students.
The distribution of interactive screens prioritises schools at the primary education level, considering factors such as school infrastructure readiness, curriculum and educational requirements, student population and educational levels. The goal is to ensure that interactive screens with standardised specifications are available in schools, making it easier for teachers to interact with them during class transitions.
Dr Faisal bin Ali al Busaidy, Director-General of the Directorate General of Information Technology, stated, 'In preparation for the upcoming academic year, the ministry is planning to implement various digital transformation projects, including providing interactive screens in over 5,000 classrooms at primary education schools. Additionally, the next academic year will see the launch of projects like the Noor e-learning platform for all schools, virtual science labs, digitisation of curricula, digital atlas, and other initiatives to enhance the use of information and communications technology in education.' This project is anticipated to revolutionise the learning environment in schools by fostering classroom interaction, diversifying teaching methods and utilising multimedia resources to enhance lesson delivery. These efforts align with the ministry's vision for a modern and integrated digital education system.
Through interactive screens, teachers will be able to deliver engaging lessons that promote deep understanding among students. Multimedia elements such as audio, video and interactive graphics will enhance classroom interaction and encourage active student participation. These screens will also support teachers in utilising innovative educational technologies, simplifying lesson preparation and diversifying teaching and assessment methods.
Moreover, interactive screens will help integrate technology into curricula and develop students' creative thinking and problem-solving skills using interactive tools. They will significantly improve student engagement in the classroom, allowing them to interact with educational content directly and engagingly, thereby increasing their interest, focus and comprehension of the subject matter. This will also support blended and distance learning, reflecting the evolving educational landscape in line with the latest global advancements in educational technology.
