The State of Qatar has confirmed that it pays great attention to formal and non-formal education and considers it a key priority.
This came in Qatar’s speech delivered by Noor Ibrahim al-Sada, second secretary of the Permanent Mission of the Qatar to the UN at Geneva, during the 35th session of the Human Rights Council.
The Qatari Constitution establishes education as a basic foundation for the progress of society, and the state shall seek to ensure, foster and endeavour to spread it, al-Sada said.
This significance is also emphasised by Qatar National Vision 2030, which considers human development as its corner stone, “as no development and no progress can be accomplished without advanced high quality educational and training services that are aligned with the aspirations and abilities of each individual”, she added.
Al-Sada stressed the importance of formal and non-formal education as a fundamental human right that would enable all groups of society to fully enjoy their other rights.
The right to education also includes a responsibility of states to provide basic education that is consistent with academic standards, quality and continuity, she added.
