Qatar has distinguished itself in the world with progress made in the
education sector, long-time Doha resident Reenu Malhotra told Qatar Urdu
Radio’s live show Haqeeqat yesterday.
“Whether it’s Qatar University, Ivy League universities at Qatar
Foundation or the independent schools, the education system here is one
of the best in world today,” she said.
Malhotra asserted that the robust education system helped facilitate
Qatari students affected by the siege and they were able to resume
education here.
“Among the 140 Qatari students who could not return to their institutes
in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the UAE, 66 of them are now
finishing their studies at Qatar University, and some in the Community
College. The government is doing its best to facilitate every student
and ensuring that their time is not wasted because of the siege.”
She added that while Qatari students were banned from returning to their
institutes after the blockade start, Qatar took no such measures
against anyone from the blockading countries.
“Whether it was the students from the blockading countries or people
working in different sectors and organisations, Qatar did not tell
anyone to leave and accommodated everyone as much as it could,”
Malhotra, who has worked in Qatar’s education sector as well as media,
said.
