Council reviews job programmes
MUSCAT: The Council of Ministers discussed and reviewed several issues dealing with the social, educational and economic fields and job opportunities in its meeting held in September.
The Council also followed up with the government departments to implement the decisions relating to the basic demands of the society.
The ministerial committee formed by the Council to address the issues of job seekers outlined the important visions to provide opportunities to job seekers.
In this regard, the Council reviewed the mechanisms for self-employment programmes and support for the initiatives to increase job opportunities for youths and encouraging them to start individual or collective projects. The Council showed special interest in sport clubs and their role in the society.
The Ministry of Sports Affairs has been asked to submit a report on the aspirations of these clubs and the ministry’s vision in developing them.
As for the establishment of a new government university ordered by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said, several steps have been taken in this regard.
The university will absorb courses — major in sciences — to fulfil the need of the coming stage of comprehensive development.
A higher committee and a main executive committee have been set up to carry out this responsibility. The Council of Ministers will also closely follow the implementation of various stages of this project.
Scholarships
Regarding the grants for post graduate studies, the regulations and basis for nomination to obtain Master and Ph.D degrees in all specialties have been approved.
The Ministry of Higher Education will announce these scholarships with effect from the current year 2011-2012.
The Council of Ministers agreed to dedicate 2012 as the ‘Year of the Child’ in the Sultanate. Several activities, including a national conference on children, culture festival, and social and cultural programmes will be organised to mark the year.
In light of the Royal directives of His Majesty the Sultan to protect the environment and maintain the natural resources, the Council discussed the availability of water in the Al Batinah region, salinity level and the measures taken to alleviate the problem of water shortage.
A ministerial committee has been constituted to prepare a comprehensive study on water situation in the Sultanate, to propose solutions to maintain the underground water reservoirs, benefits of the treated water and steps to preserve water, including the use of modern irrigation system and benefits of the underground water reservoir in planning economically feasible projects.
Earlier this year, the Council studied the fish farming policies in the Sultanate and prepared a layout of the places to be allocated projects for this sector. These sectors will play a major role in increasing fish supply in the Omani markets at suitable rates
