The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE), in cooperation with Hope Qatar Center, organised a qualitative sports initiative for students with disabilities between the ages of four and 20 under the slogan 'We are all winners.'
The event, which included 27 sports competitions, aimed to provide an inclusive and stimulating environment for persons with disabilities. This initiative enables them to participate actively in various community activities and events. It also provides equal opportunities that allow them to enjoy sports activities regardless of their ability levels. In addition, it will open more avenues towards sports and cultural enrichment for children and youth with disabilities in Qatar in the coming years.
Director of the Educational Services Centers Department at the MoEHE Eman Ali Al Nuaimi said: "The Ministry is keen to hold such sporting events, provide equal opportunities for all groups, and encourage all members of society to enjoy sports activities and the benefits they bring." She stressed that the program is carefully designed to focus on enhancing individual abilities rather than on disability challenges.
This initiative, during which 86 students from 26 nationalities representing 11 educational centers for people with disabilities across the State of Qatar participated, is a testament to the Ministry's unwavering commitment to fostering inclusion and equality in Qatari society. It mirrors the nation's all-encompassing vision of supporting all segments of society.
