Individuals with talent and education excellence are the real wealth of any country. In line with this notion, Qatar celebrated the 11th Education Excellence Day and honoured 64 winners in nine different categories. The distinguished students and individuals who are honoured annually, represent an added value to the national Qatari competencies in different fields, which makes Qatar an incubator for educational excellence.
Honouring the winners of the Education Excellence Award, Emir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani urged the students and individuals to continue to excel and achieve success in all fields in order to serve their country and community. The award is the highest academic honour to individuals and educational institutions in the State.
Qatar established an education system that complies with the highest standards of global educational systems. Latest technologies, educational and research programs are being added in the curricula helping students to discover their creative potential and enhance scientific research skills in various disciplines.
The award has a great impact in spreading the culture of innovation and excellence in the Qatari society and encourages students to exert more efforts for academic excellence and outstanding academic achievement.
The increasing interest in the Education Excellence Award and the broad and growing participation witnessed in every edition, proves Qatar’s focus on youth as a main pillar in developing the society, and in achieving its national vision.
Minister of Education and Higher Education H E Dr Mohammed bin Abdul Wahed Al Hammadi said the winners and their predecessors must shoulder the responsibility for participating in implementing the directives of H H the Emir on development.
The award inspires the spirit of innovation in students, researchers and educational institutions, to stimulate the spirit of competition between individuals and educational institutions in the field of scientific excellence and to direct the individual and institutional energies towards educational excellence in all fields.
The award also reveals talented and distinguished individuals as a national wealth to be nurtured through these awards and develop their skills in their areas of excellence. Investing in the human resource is a necessary option to support the overall development of the country.
This is confirmed by the diversity of students, graduates, military officers, academics, researchers, schools and teaching staff. Qatar, no doubt, is taking care of its talented youth and knows that they are valuable treasures and that their capabilities must be developed. Qatar is moving way ahead to build a modern state that encourages education for all and recognises the value of youth who excel.
