Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education have received increased attention in Oman. The Oman case on TVET practices provides a good picture of the various components behind the promotion of entrepreneurship education at national level. They take different forms such as research, expenditure, curriculum development, teacher training and collaboration with NGOs. Various pilot projects and national, regional or international programmes have been implemented to promote entrepreneurship and to provide entrepreneurship education especially among youth, students and unemployed. The Government of Oman identified the role of privatization and liberalization of its policies to accelerate the rate of economic growth. Government encouraged men and women equally to participate in the process of economic development of the Sultanate. “Vision Oman 2020” proposed a policy for the Sultanate’s development over twenty five years (1996 to 2020). It took into account the far-reaching changes in the world economy and the revolution in telecommunications and information technology that has transformed the global system of production and exchange. The plan places emphasis on the industrial development of small and medium enterprises.
