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 the supporting environment which 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”.

The Cultural Office encourages the formation and activation of student associations since they play a valuable role in defining the cultural heritage and modern achievements of the Sultanate of Oman and highlighting Omani traditions, in addition to their primary role in promoting social and recreational activities amongst its members at diaspora, they strengthen the bonds of brotherhood, deepen the spirit of cooperation among students and reinforce their national sense.
Initiating a student association requires the presence of a board of directors consisting of nine members, including the president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, who are elected by the members of the association through a yearly individual election system, and those whose membership ends may be re-elected.
Associations are subject to the direct financial supervision of the Cultural Office if the following conditions are met:
• The association has a board of directors consisting of a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer to be elected by the members of the association (Omani students who joined the association).
• Association is officially registered at the university and the cultural office (funds are dispersed to registered associations only).
• Preferably, the number of association members should not be less than 40 Omani members.
• Attaining the official university's approval to establish the association and reporting approval to Cultural Office for approval.
Once the student association is established, a commitment must be made to form an organizational structure for the association.
