The Sultanate of Oman has always put education at the top of its priorities. "On top of our national priorities is the education sector, with all its types and levels. It will receive full attention, and it will be provided with a supporting environment that motivates research and innovation. We will also provide it with all means of empowerment, since it is the base upon which our children will be able to participate in meeting the requirements of the coming phase of development, "His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tariq Al Said stressed in his speech on February 2020.
However, COVID-19 has taught a great lesson about the importance of blending technology with education, all schools were suddenly closed and students were left without education. To keep education ongoing, His Majesty gave directives to make education hybrid. Students from schools, universities, and colleges have started to use technology, such as computers, phones, and tablets, to learn and attend classes virtually.
