The Ministry of Education and Higher Education is working closely with
private institutions to improve the standard of education in the
country, Doha resident Batool Sughra, pictured, told Qatar Urdu Radio’s
live show Haqeeqat yesterday.
Speaking on the impact of the unjust siege on the country’s education
sector, Sughra said no institution in the private or public sector was
in any way affected by the ongoing blockade.
“There are thousands of international students, including those from the
blockading countries, studying across the country in different schools,
and none of them was told to leave or treated differently because of
the siege,” she asserted.
Sughra, who works as a senior academician in a private school, said the
Ministry of Education and Higher Education has always reached out to
schools in order to improve the standard of education.
“Private school representatives recently had a meeting with the Ministry
of Education to discuss ways to improve the standard of education in
Qatar. We discussed various issues faced by schools and ways to resolve
them. Such meetings and plans are only possible if there is peace and
stability in the country,” Sughra said.
Haqeeqat is a joint venture of Gulf Times and Qatar Media Corp Urdu
Radio. The show, hosted by Saif-ur-Rehman, aims to engage and interact
with the large South Asian expatriate community in Qatar.
