His Majesty's Presence Evokes Joy,Pride in Citizens

Celebrations by citizens were held at Seeh at Makarim in Wilayat of Sohar to show their joy over His Majesty Sultan Qaboos’s presence in the wilayat. Omani folk melodies were sung at the event which was held under the auspices of Sayyid Badr bin Saud al Busaidy, Wali of Sohar.

Present were officials sheikhs, dignitaries and citizens .In artistic tableaus ,citizens depicted the bond between the sons of Oman and His Majesty the Sultan their leader. They chanted the words showing their happiness over the achievements secured to them during His Majesty’s prosperous era. Citizens also renewed their allegiance and loyalty to his Majesty the Sultan. The Omani women also took part in the celebration and performed women’s traditional songs in the wilayat.

The citizens really love the Sultan. Of the many reasons one of them is when the sultan came to the throne in 1970,there were only three schools and less than 1000 students in Oman. The Sultan gave overriding priority to education since then and today there are more than 1500 schools and more than 650000 students. Here pre university education consists of 3 parts-primary, preparatory and secondary. During preparatory ,the discipline in secondary is decided. The duration of primary is of 6 years and preparatory is 2 years.
