ABSTRACT
This chapter seeks to examine neoliberal privilege in terms of English language teaching and learning in Oman through the context of contemporary policy reforms. It questions the enthusiasm of officials to harmonise the education sector with job market needs and upskill Omani youth to resolve chronicle unemployment problems. It argues that the current English education policy reforms in Oman have created social inequalities and failed to resolve unemployment issues in the country, thereby creating a situation where undesirable outcomes become inevitable
