INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL ON EDUCATION FOR TEACHING
54th World Assembly
Maintaining Strategic Agility: Managing change and assuring quality in education for teaching
December 14-17, 2009
Muscat, Oman
The 2009 ICET World Assembly will be held in Muscat, Oman at the Sultan Qaboos University and the Intercontinental Hotel. Sultan Qaboos University will host the opening ceremonies, and the Intercontinental Hotel will host the rest of the conference. Muscat is one of a string of towns, which forms a sort of necklace sandwiched between the sea to the north and a very rocky, primeval-looking range of barren mountains to the south. With a history linked to the trade of frankincense and records from Greece and Rome dating the city back at least 2000 years, Muscat is one of the oldest cities in the Middle East and yet today is cosmopolitan and modern with the traditional right on its doorstep.
