It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website for the Oman Quality Network. The OQN was established in 2006 under the vision of its Patron, Her Excellency Dr Rawya Al-Busaidia, Minister of Higher Education. Her Excellency recognised the benefits of greater collaboration within the sector – especially in sharing best practices in quality assurance and in quality enhancement within institutions.

The OQN is an informal network comprised of all postcompulsory education institutions in Oman who pay the required Membership levy. These Member institutions each nominate two people to be its Representatives.

The main purpose of the OQN is to help develop a strong and vibrant higher education sector by improving quality in higher education within the Sultanate of Oman. It aims to build a quality conscious, knowledge rich sector through the sharing of ideas, strategies, research, and practices that inform the pursuit of quality improvement.

The OQN is proud to be partnered by the Oman Accreditation Council and the Ministry of Higher Education.

“Remember – if every Member in the OQN shares at least one good practice with the Network, then they will get about 60 good practices back. That’s a fantastic return on investment!” (Martin Carroll)
