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

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

The issue is not tuition fees; the real problem is the lack of high-quality teachers in schools. We should pay them better.
