Qatar supports funding the education both at the national and global levels, and places utmost importance on education. This is demonstrated in its commitment to Qatari and world students by taking a conscious decision in education, because it believes in education as the pillar of social growth, specially that the State of Qatar is part and parcel of the global environmental system.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres underlined that education is one of the core human rights, and a bedrock for communities.
