GES consisted of 3
ranges: the primary changed into referred to as the primary degree and
stretched for 6 years from the primary grade to the sixth
grade (a long time 6 to eleven years), at the same time as the second one degree,
which changed into referred to as the number one degree, stretched for 3
years from grade seven to grade nine (a long time 12 to 14).
A popular degree of lack of information and shortage of expertise
prevailed because of the restricted unfold of schooling. The getting to know evaluation changed into normally restricted
to checks that assessed the minimal intellectual ability of
scholars (Ministry of Education, 1996). By the 1990s,
widespread growth withinside the provision of schooling changed into
in large part executed, regardless of the non-stop want for a
more wide variety of colleges, so that it will accommodate the
growing wide variety of scholars(Al Minwaria, 2015).

In the primary 3 ranges, the college 12 months comprised 160
college days that had been divided into semesters; each
semester lasting for sixteen weeks. The
outcomes of those research indicated that GES provision did
now no longer efficaciously put together scholars for a HE or a career.
According to the Ministry of Education (2010), School
degree schooling in Oman previous to 1970 changed into restricted to
Islamic research represented in Quranic colleges and
mosque schooling groups, in which the Holy Quran, the
ideas of Islam and Arabic language and Mathematics
had been the principle unit of study.
Some preceding studies has been carried out at the
effectiveness of the GES in Oman; but, those
research supported the want to broaden the GES (AlBarwani, 2002; Al-Ghassani, 2010; Al-Rawahi, 2002; Bwo
Btana, 2003; Mohammed, 2004; Rassekh, 2004).
The final degree, which changed into referred to as the secondary degree,
stretched for three years, from the 10th grade to the twelfth
grade (a long time 15 to 17 years) (Ministry of Education,
2010). The criminal scholars` age – decided through the
Sultanate – to first attend GES colleges, is 5 years and
ten months, whilst the age of enrolment in private
schooling is 5 years and 4 months (Al Surkhawee,
2013).
