As part of the Unesco’s efforts to provide quality education along with lifelong learning for all, September 8 is observed as International Literacy Day, every year. Although the day passed off without much ado in the Sultanate, the educational vision for quality, equity and sustainability in Oman is facilitated by Unesco programmes. Oman’s adult literacy rate reached 94.8 per cent in 2015 from 81.36 per cent in 2003 growing at an average annual rate of 3.69 per cent.
“Despite high literacy rate in the country, there is still the need for an increasing focus on attaining high-quality education to understand the international business culture and acquire skills to succeed in a globalised market,” feel experts.
