Teach For Qatar (TFQ) has signed an MoU with Supreme Education Council (SEC), Qatar Petroleum (QP) and Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF). |
The MoUs were signed by HE Sheikha Hind bint Hamad al-Thani, chairperson TFQ, with HE Dr Mohamed Abdul Wahed Ali al-Hammadi, Minister of Education and Higher Education (on behalf of SEC), HE Dr Mohamed bin Saleh al-Sada, Minister of Energy and Industry (on behalf of QP), and Engineer Saad al-Muhannadi, president QF.
“Teach For Qatar, alongside our partners, is seeking young people, academic achievers, and talented professionals to become transformational leaders in the classroom and the community,” said Sheikha Hind.
“Thanks to the support of these notable institutions, we can inspire exceptional graduates and young professionals to be part of the solution.”
Dr al-Hammadi said: “TFQ’s goals are in line with the strategic aims of the SEC, in reinstating nationwide respect for the field of teaching. We are working tirelessly in recruiting Qatar’s top talent to join this group of teachers, which will have a tremendously positive impact on Qatar’s future generations.”
TFQ is an NGO that attracts young leaders from various backgrounds and specialisations, provides them with rigorous training, and then places them as teachers in independent schools across Qatar for a two year ‘fellowship’.
Fellows continue to receive training, mentorship, and regular reviews throughout their full-time teaching jobs.
Upon completion of the two-year teaching placement, flows can continue to contribute to the development of Qatar’s education system through career pathways developed by TFQ alongside Qatari institutions across various sectors.
Al-Sada expressed QP’s pride in supporting the TFQ mission.
“We hope that this agreement would enable young professionals with knowledge and skills in order to help enhance Qatar’s educational system, and to actively contribute to the efforts for sustained development”.
Engineer al-Muhannadi said: “Qatar Foundation is extremely honoured and privileged to be joining this exciting initiative by providing TFQ guidance, support and expertise as part of overall efforts to further strengthen the public education system in Qatar.”
In the lead-up to the May 10 application deadline, informational booths are available at Hamad bin Khalifa University Student Centre and Qatar University, where interested university students and young professionals can test their knowledge of core subjects, sample the teaching experience and interact with members of Teach For Qatar, and apply for the two year fellowship.
