Schools grappling with falling revenues
By: Times News Service
With many schools in the Sultanate working as a not-for-profit venture, exit of some students has affected their earnings.
Muscat: Students not returning to the classrooms, be it either face-to-face or virtual, are costing millions to school management committees. Take the example of Indian Schools in Oman where more than 7,000 students have left or are planning to leave in 2020-2021.
While more than 4,600 Indian students have opted for transfer certificates in the middle of the term, around 2,000-2,500 additional students are expected to leave the schools or apply for transfers after the completion of the current term, ending in March 2021.
