MUSCAT: The Ministry of Education has provided 46 specialised technical support centres for General Education Diploma students to modify their academic programmes.
These centres aim to assist students during the critical phase of adjusting their academic programmes in the Unified Admission electronic system — a pivotal stage that requires careful decision-making and awareness of available options.
Fatima al Foori, Assistant Director of Curriculum and Career Guidance, stated that these centres are geographically distributed across all governorates of the Sultanate of Oman, ensuring easy access for all students, whether inside the country or studying abroad.
She added that the centres aim to empower students to make informed academic decisions by providing technical and advisory support, facilitating smooth and accurate use of the electronic registration and modification system.
Al Foori explained that these efforts were not spontaneous but followed a comprehensive preparatory phase, including careful selection of centre locations, nomination of participating specialists and equipping facilities with devices, computers and Internet access to ensure effective service delivery for students and their guardians.
She noted that 158 department heads, supervisors and career guidance specialists — who volunteered during the summer break — are delivering these services, strategically distributed to ensure comprehensive coverage across educational governorates.
The locations of these centres were announced through various media and digital platforms to ensure all eligible students are informed, raising awareness about the importance of this stage and the need for precise academic programme selection.
