History
In 1976 His Majesty Sultan
Qaboos bin Said established the first Technical School in Oman. It was established under the aegis of the Royal Guard of Oman with the aim of providing a first class Technical Education for Omani boys from an early age. In the first few years of operation, only the top students from the various regions of Oman were selected and priority was given to siblings of Royal Guard personnel. A few years later, the school's remit was changed to that of a Technical College. Subsequently, access was widened to incorporate a wider range of students from all regions and sectors in Omani society and all prospective students were required to sit an entrance test. Based on the results of the entrance test, a final selection of first year students was made. Over the past three decades the intake of students has gradually increased from the initial twenty students to fifty students per year.
