Under the guidance of wise leadership, Qatar has invested extensively in its education system, providing unlimited support and resources. This has led to notable achievements on the global stage, earning widespread regional and international recognition.

Recognising the significance of the teaching profession, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education continues to implement programs and initiatives aligned with its strategic goals to professionalise teaching.
