Teaching is just not a profession rather it is a sacred mission therefore teachers who are fulfilling this sacred job deserve the utmost respect in any society. Qatar, a state which gives top priority to education, also knows how to honour teachers rightly named as nation builders.
They say the one who teaches us is the giver of eyes. Qatar has not only created a highly comfortable environment for teachers serving the nation but also honours them at different occasions to acknowledge their crucial role in building the future of the country. The Qatar government has provided all facilities to teachers so that they can perform their job whole-heartedly; and the incentives along with excellent working conditions provided for teachers are attracting talented youth to the profession.
On Thursday, Qatar celebrated World Teachers’ Day by honouring 100 teachers in a ceremony which was attended by Prime Minister and Interior Minister H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani.
The presence of H E the Prime Minister and Interior Minister in the ceremony itself speaks volumes about Qatar’s keenness towards education sector.
Addressing the ceremony, Minister of Education and Higher Education, H E Dr. Mohamed bin Abdul Wahed Ali Al Hammmadi said that Qatar’s National Vision aims to transform Qatar, by 2030, to a developed country capable of realising sustainable development. “This can be achieved by utilising an education system that copes with modern international standards, where educators play a vital role in preparing the students for the future,” H E the Minister added.
H E the Minister said that Qatar’s national policies are centred on the advancement of human resources, and the teachers are at the forefront of this policy, and this celebration is a vivid indication of Qatar’s interest in teachers.
Following the directives of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the State of Qatar has achieved all international standards and guidelines concerning the status of teachers including their security and job satisfaction.
He said that Qatar is attracting quality teachers from all over the world as teachers working in the government sector are from 56 nationalities, and those in the private education sector are from 105 nationalities, which indicates Qatar’s openness to the world despite the unjust blockade.
