Following the successful use of the Google Workspace for Education platform during the former academic year, The Ministry of Education in Oman has renewed its agreement to continue using the platform as the primary educational tool for learning and collaboration within Oman’s public schools network for the current academic year of 2021-2022.
The Google Workspace for Education platform has provided Oman’s educational community with a suite of productivity and collaboration solutions that can flex and adapt to their unique needs and mimic a physical classroom setting. Through the use of tools such as Google Classroom, Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, as well as Google Meet and Chat and other Education support applications, teachers were able to integrate all the tools in their teaching methodologies.
More than 600,00 students and 40,000 teachers in Oman were able to benefit from the Google Workspace for Education platform educational and collaboration tools since its deployment in early 2020, which has empowered them with new methods of teaching and learning that support distance and hybrid learning.
Marc Sanz Lopez, Head of Education at Google Workspace for Education, SCEEMENA, said, “The education sector was one of the key sectors that accelerated digital transformation when the pandemic hit, as it became essential to implement e-learning systems and enhance the digital infrastructure of schools to switch to distance learning. We are pleased that our collaboration with the Ministry has been instrumental in ensuring the education of students across the country went uninterrupted over the last two years, and also helped deliver engaging and personalized content that enabled students and teachers to achieve better learning and educational outcomes.”
