The Ministry of Education and Higher Education, represented by the Department of Teachers Affairs, on Sunday announced that it has started to receive applications for professional licences for school heads, including principals and deputies who meet the requirements, in accordance with the Professional Licence Policy, through the registration link, starting today through January 12.
This came in the context of the ministry's continuous efforts to develop educational cadres and upgrade the teaching and learning processes in Qatar, and out of the belief in the importance of obtaining a professional licence as a guarantee of the quality of educational practices.
Those wishing to apply for professional licence must pass the training programmes according to the category they belong to. This includes first-time applicants and those those who want to renew the licence.
The Ministry stated that the registration of school principals on the professional licenses system comes as a complement to the procedures for granting licences to all academic staff concerned in schools in Qatar.
Registration opened at the beginning of the first semester of this year for all teachers and co-ordinators who meet the requirements for first-time applicants for a professional license, or those who hold an expired licence and have the desire to renew it in accordance with the approved terms and mechanisms.
