The Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani has announced Qatar's pledge to provide quality education to another one million girls by 2021. The Amir also announced his support for the Charlevoix Declaration, especially since Qatar has always given priority to education at both local and external levels, as reflected in its international development assistance programmes. The Amir said Qatar has led the efforts for the issuance of the UN's landmark resolution on the right to education in emergency situations in 2010. This resolution indicated that a large proportion of the world's out-of-school children live in conflict-hit areas and in regions struck by natural calamity. (QNA)
