The Halban Smart and Inclusive School Complex: A Holistic Model for Sustainable, Inclusive, and Tech-Integrated Education in Oman

Abstract

This paper presents the Halban Smart and Inclusive School Complex, a pioneering educational model designed to address the academic, emotional, and social needs of children in emerging Omani communities. The model integrates inclusive pedagogy, embedded psychosocial support, digital learning technologies, and climate-resilient infrastructure. It responds to post-pandemic learning disparities and the demand for culturally rooted yet globally informed schooling. Grounded in interdisciplinary theory and aligned with Oman Vision 2040, the model offers a scalable blueprint for holistic, inclusive, and sustainable education. This paper outlines the project’s core components, implementation strategies, and potential challenges, including cultural, institutional, and financial constraints.
