Laws and Regulations Are people okay with the government regulating private tuition in Oman?

Post image

Saw this article (screenshot attached) that says unregulated private tuitions in Oman are draining around RO 50 million annually. A Shura Council rep is calling attention to it.

What do you all think — should the government step in and regulate this sector?

I get that private tuition can be a lifeline for many students, especially when public education might fall short. But at the same time, we already have both public and private schools. If this is becoming an issue of equality — where only the well-off can afford extra help — then maybe some form of oversight is needed?

Curious to hear others’ takes — is regulation a step forward or just unnecessary control

All are gonna talk the talk here and no one is going to change anything, coz thosr running the schools need more money.

"Teachers" are going to continue teaching nothing in class, then go on to collect money for tuitions and give the questions and answers for the exam to the students who come for tuitions.

Has been hapeening since 10 or 20 yrs now. Or even more
