Qatar Charity (QC) said it implemented many educational projects in several countries around the world in 2019, at an estimated cost of nearly QR14mn Qatari riyals and benefiting some 59,000 people.
QC’s education projects included sponsoring refugee students, maintaining schools, providing free education to children in need and giving salaries to teachers and school staff, it said in a press statement.



Qatar Charity has provided salaries to teachers and school staff working on an e-learning project at schools in northern Syria, and implemented many projects for the benefit of Syrians within their countries and in the countries of asylum.
QC had many educational achievements last year, the most recent of which was the inauguration of Nibrasul-Ilim Preparatory School in Turkey’s Sanliurfa Province, in co-operation with the Turkish government and the Kuwaiti Humanitarian Relief Society.
In the field of education, QC works in more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia and Europe in co-operation with local governments, humanitarian organisations and UN agencies to provide quality education to those in need, aiming to accomplish the sustainable development goal in this regard, the statement notes.
According to Unicef, an estimated 617mn children and adolescents around the world are unable to reach minimum proficiency levels in reading and
mathematics. “Unless we act now, by 2030, more than 60mn primary school-aged children will still be out of school,” Unicef said.
