Abstract

Education is all pervasive. It is rightly said that “to educate is to enlighten,” and the only way for developing either the self or the nation is through education. This is well understood in most of the developed countries, but due to globalization, the world over this realization is dawning. Sultanate of Oman is one of the most developed countries in the Middle East. Blessed with a visionary leader, the younger generation of the nation is set to achieve its full potential. Higher Education is definitely a means to achieve that end. It is one of the strategic areas pursued with intent and motive. This chapter traces the history of higher education in Oman, identifies the 21st century higher education trends, and reviews the best practices, which can be adopted for evolving a comprehensive and holistic higher education.
