Muscat – Demonstrating its commitment to education and to sustainable community development, Vale in Oman supported 15 schools in Liwa, Shinas, Suhar and Saham with the latest educational devices. Recognizing the important role of technology in today’s learning journey, the devices will help support the academic growth of students in North Al Batinah.

Nasser Al Azri, CEO, Vale in Oman, said: "We have a responsibility towards our youth, to nurture their talents, and provide them with means to expand their horizons. By enabling the introduction of technology into classrooms, we are not just modernizing education, we are preparing our students to better navigate the ever-changing technological landscape in our digital lives.”
