| Because of the current concern for phoney qualifications in the education sector, several teachers at Sohar College are now under investigation by the MoHE. So far, there has been two confirmed cases of teachers possessing fraudulent qualifications. These two teachers will no doubt have their contracts terminated. |

Do you work at Sohar? If so, what's it like? Is the city kind of isolated? Is the cost of living lower than Muscat? Cause the pay is lower. (700-900). If you are familiar with the school and/or locale, any info you can provide would be appreciated.  |

Being new to this I am maybe a bit naive? How can anyone have 'fake' degrees, when they have to be legalised by solicitor, and then the apropriate embassy? Then by the Oman embassy?
I have to do all of this soon, as I work through the employment process for myself. |

It is further proof of what I have saying for years... this ridiculous certification procedure proves NOTHING. All it does is provide a number of governmental organizations with a sum of your money. At no step of the way do any of these offices providing stamps and ribbons and wax actually contact your university to see if you ever attended or graduated. It only proves that the certificate seems to be the type of certificate that this university provides. (Hello? Kinkos?)
It would be wonderful if these countries would finally figure this out... dump this ridiculous and ever more expensive procedure and have each new employee provide an "official transcript" from their universities. Right now the only organization that I an aware of that does this is HCT in the UAE. You never hear of them hiring anyone with fake degrees and they hire hundreds of teachers.

| If you go for a government job in Saudi the Saudi Cultural Mission contacts the University to check that the degree is genuine. |

Hi Mojowski,
The Sohar Source newsletter is probably the best source of info about what is on offer in Sohar for expats.
It is available upon email request from [email protected] .
Have you tried entering 'Sohar Oman' into the search fields of the youtube and flickr websites?
