Namat Competition

The Namat Schools Competition (Namat) is an environmental initiative by ESO aimed at promoting sustainable practices in schools across Oman. Government schools are encouraged to form teams comprising students, staff, and a member of the parent council to develop and implement projects under the following key themes:

Waste Management

Water Management

Energy Management

Curriculum Integration & School Initiatives

Community Engagement Management

Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Winning schools receive cash prizes to further support and sustain their environmental projects.

With sponsorship from Veolia Oman, the 2023/2024 Namat Competition witnessed participation from 164 registered schools across 11 governorates. Under the patronage of H.E. Madeeha bint Ahmed bin Nassir Al Shibaniyah, Minister of Education, the award ceremony was held on October 31, 2024, where nine winning schools from four different governorates were recognized for their outstanding contributions.

We continue to be inspired by the dedication and innovation demonstrated by our winning teams, as well as the strong community support behind their initiatives.

Looking ahead, ESO remains committed to engaging and empowering young minds to become active environmental champions in their communities. With the continued support of Veolia Oman, the 2024/2025 edition of Namat was launched in October and is already shaping up to be one of the most impactful editions yet!
