Indian schools in Oman plan infrastructure expansion to meet growing admission demands

Muscat, Jan 21 (ANI): Indian schools in Oman have planned a massive infrastructure expansion to meet the increasing demand for admissions.

"We are conscious of the pressing need to expand our existing infrastructure and we are working relentlessly to go for expansion and detailed announcement to that effect would be made soon," Tony George Alexander, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Indian Schools said.

Alexander said that the plans were afoot both in the interior areas as well as in the capital Muscat, where there are already six schools operating, The Gulf News reports.

He pointed out that the arrival of young Indian expatriates in the country had created an unprecedented rush for admissions in lower classes from KG to Standard I.

Alexander promised that the new board was working for an overall change for the better, but needed time to implement reforms.

He announced that the Board of Directors of Indian schools in Oman, which now comprises five parents elected to the board by the parents, will launch an online admission system for all Indian Schools.

"We are going online from Saturday and every parent seeking admission to any of the 19 Indian schools will have to first register online and they would be sent confirmation by an SMS," Alexander said. (ANI)
