Ministries’ Partnership
Lolwah bint Rashid bin Mohammed
Al Khater, Minister of Education and Higher Education, announced the launch of
the first phase of the “Quran Teacher” program after Ramadan in 15 schools as a
pilot initiative, with plans to gradually expand the program in partnership
between the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and the Ministry of
Awqaf and Islamic Affairs.
During her speech at the
ceremony honoring the 19th cohort of the Qatar Award for Scientific Excellence,
the Minister emphasized that the initiative aims to enhance Quranic education
in schools, alongside implementing foundational programs in Arabic language
skills that have benefited over 300 students, while also expanding teacher
training programs.
Reviving the Religious Institute and Strengthening National
Identity
As part of efforts to reinforce
national identity and balanced religious awareness, the Minister announced the
revival of the Religious Institute, which teaches Sharia sciences and the
Arabic language, describing it as a key educational and scholarly resource for
students.
She also revealed the
establishment of a girls’ religious institute in partnership between the
Ministries of Education and Awqaf, aiming to enhance coordination between
educational and religious institutions in the country.
Complementary Educational Initiatives
To foster students’ personal
development and promote values-based education, the Ministry launched the
“Bunyan Student Center” in collaboration with the Ajyal Educational Center,
attracting nearly 2,000 students in the first two months, prompting a temporary
closure of registration due to high demand.
Additionally, the “Rasikh”
initiative was launched in partnership with Qatar Foundation to reinforce
national identity and the Arabic language in international curricula and
private schools, alongside reviving the scouting movement for its role in
developing responsibility and belonging among youth.
A Digital Platform to Empower Youth
The Minister also highlighted
the development of the “Athar” digital platform, which enables young people in
Qatar and the Arab world to showcase their achievements online. The platform
has already surpassed 13 million views in a short period, reflecting broad
engagement and growing interest in digital educational and cultural
initiatives.
