Oman Child-Centered Classroom Methodologies (CCCM)

Work With Sultan Qaboos University Faculty to Promote CCCM

The Sultanate of Oman’s education ministry has committed to raising education standards to a level which will enable Oman’s children to perform more effectively in schools and – eventually – in the marketplace. CCCM enables students to direct their own learning, a critical capability in an ever changing technology-based world.

CCCM is widely regarded as a successful example of how to improve education quality and prepare students from first to fourth grades to be self-directed in their educational development. The Oman Ministry of Education is working with Seward International as part of the Creative Associates team to scale up and institutionalize CCCM practices in schools and teacher training institutions.
