Novel Molecular Approach to Study Brucellosis in Cattle, Sheep, Goats and Camels in the Sultanate of Oman

In light of the need for systemic educational reform to extend the boundaries of students and rsquo; learning potential, this project aims to systemically activate and analyze the impact of all interrelated elements in the school system that promote the empowerment of student learning in the Sultanate of Oman. More specifically, it aims at furnishing the school system with a practical model for sustained improvement of the overall school performance. It is hypothesized that any sustained improvement in the school system is function of a set of interrelated driving forces or subsystems that collectively drive the overall performance of the school system, and impact students and rsquo; learning potential. It is hoped that this project will contribute to the efforts exerted by the Education Council and the Ministry of Education toheed the call of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos bin Said for securing the quality of outputs of all types of educational establishments in accordance with the general policies of the State. A descriptive analytic methodology which draws upon mixed methods of quantitativeand qualitativedata will be used. The project has three phases each of which will require different types of design (e.g., descriptive analytic, experimental, and ethnography).The sample will include four schools (two male and two female) from Muscat area. About 3600 students from grades 5 -10 will be tested and followed up at three stages: grades 5-6, 7-8, and 9-10. The sample will also include all teachers, administrators and parents of children in these schools.
