A
Education in Qatar
Education is a big part of a person’s life it does not just start with school and
end in university, as many people assume. Education is a constant process in
one’s life, it helps develop the character and personality of the person and helps
define the things that he or she are interested in.
Over the years, Qatar has evolved little by little to reach the high level of
education that it has now. It has ascended from only local schools for young
boys, to the huge expansion where everyone has the opportunity to learn, even
elders. In addition, one of the most important features of the education in Qatar
is that it does not only focus on academics, but it also takes on building the
students’ character. A clear example of that is the student council and the
elections that take place, which is important to create a sense of democracy and
fairness in the students. Another aspect as well is the scientific research, which
enhances the observations and researching skills in the students and teaches
them how to be enquirers, and not to be afraid to speak out and share their
opinion with others and be able to communicate their thoughts clearly.
Nevertheless, Qatar is following the policy in investing in the two most
important aspects in a country: Health and education. The government never
holds back from providing the greatest part of its budget to improve the
learning experience for the students on all levels, as much as possible. The
latest technologies, buildings and learning experts are put to the mission to
facilitate education in the country on a national level, and no one is left out of
the pack. A great example of the developments that occurred in the education
system in Qatar recently is the E-learning system that has been introduced to all
A
schools in Qatar, which opened the door to a new level of learning and created a
great bridge of communication between the students and their teachers.
On the other side of the coin, the cultural aspect always plays an important
role in the students’ life, as appreciating the Qatari culture and history is a vital
part in the process of learning. Students are taught to learn from their past and
to embrace the heritage of those who preceded them. By that, the education
system evolves confident, well-rounded batches that contribute to their
community in various ways and help provide a similar quality of life to the
future generations.
To conclude, the line does not end there, Qatar is carving its own path towards
the future and climbing mountains to get on the top, but even on the top Qatar
should not be satisfied with where it is. If you are satisfied with the place that
you are in, you will lose the way to revolution. That is why Qatar will be taking
on new mountains to climb and new challenges to face. One day we will see
Qatari curricula adopted by so many Arab countries and perhaps the whole
world one day.
