Muscat: The Ministry of Education has provided 46 specialised technical support centres for General Education Diploma students to modify their academic programmes in the Unified Admission system, with services continuing until Thursday evening. These centres aim to assist students during the critical phase of adjusting their academic programmes in the Unified Admission electronic system—a pivotal stage that requires careful decision-making and awareness of available options. Fatima Khalfan Al Fori, Assistant Director of Curriculum and Career Guidance, stated that these centres are geographically distributed across all governorates of the Sultanate of Oman, ensuring easy access for all students, whether inside the country or studying abroad. She added that the centers aim to empower students to make informed academic decisions by providing technical and advisory support, facilitating smooth and accurate use of the electronic registration and modification system. Al Fori explained that these efforts were not spontaneous but followed a comprehensive preparatory phase, including careful selection of centre locations, nomination of participating specialists, and equipping facilities with devices, computers, and internet access to ensure effective service delivery for students and their guardians. She noted that 158 department heads, supervisors, and career guidance specialists—who volunteered during the summer break—are delivering these services, strategically distributed to ensure comprehensive coverage across educational governorates. The locations of these centers were announced through various media and digital platforms to ensure all eligible students are informed, raising awareness about the importance of this stage and the need for precise academic programme selection. Services at these centers include responding to student and parent inquiries about registration, the process of arranging academic programs in the electronic system—whether in person, by phone, or through communication groups—as well as individualised career consultations to guide students based on their academic inclinations.
