\textbf{Are Omani private schools making a better~ contribution than
public schools in preparing young people for Higher Education?}

\par\null

Oman like many developing countries has a dual stream schooling system
which consist of private and public or government schools. The main
purpose for this paper is to look into the quality, the nature of
private schools and establish if their contribution is better than that
of public schools in terms of the output, which becomes the input to the
higher education system of Oman and abroad.

\par\null

\textbf{The nature} covers the legal framework that governs
establishment of the dual stream or system, the policies that guide the
operations and professional practices of both.~\textbf{Quality} is about
the type of curriculum, resources, programs and personnel that executes
both management, teaching and learning duties in the schools. Then it
will be \textbf{the significance} of the two streams in Oman and how
they \textbf{compete or complement} each other.%
