Oman

Oman remains in the emerging-readiness range, with progress visible but major gaps still limiting future readiness. Most dimension scores sit close to global norms, without a single dimension standing far above the rest.

Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. High internet adoption enables broad participation in digital learning and innovation.

Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Gender parity leans toward boys in secondary pathways, signalling persistent barriers for girls.

Regionally, Oman leads most clearly in School Access and Gender Parity, sitting well above the peer average.
