Qatar National Day is a beloved memory that pays tribute to the day Sheikh Jassim bin Mohammed bin Thani led his people to establish a modern state in 1878, Minister of Education and Higher Education HE Dr Mohammed bin Abdulwahed Al Hammadi has said.
The National Day, he noted, is a time to reflect on the values of honesty, justice and hard work on which the state was founded. “It is these values that the education system looks to encourage in their students through programmes that cherish tradition and respect the cultures of other people.”
In remarks made to Qatar News Agency (QNA), he said the leadership of HH the Amir managed to turn the blockade from a crisis into an opportunity, adding that everyone in the country focused on enhancing national capabilities to meet local needs.
“Qatar faced difficult challenges in the past few years: first it was the unjust the blockade and then it was a pandemic that adversely impacted the whole world. However, the solidarity between Qataris and hard work helped the country overcome these challenges,” the minister said.
He continued, “Qatar remained true to the principles of the country’s founder. The state has always focused on education, reflected in the establishment of Qatar University in the seventies.”
The minister discussed the achievements of his ministry and said, “Despite the negative impact of COVID-19 pandemic, the ministry moved forward with its strategy. The year saw the ministry offer a host of its services digitally. This move helped maintain social distancing at the onset of the pandemic. Soon the ministry will complete its digital transformation.”
On the epidemic, Hammadi said the ministry cooperated with the Ministry of Public Health to ensure strict adherence to the containment measures adopted by the ministry in schools and by its employees. He highlighted that HH the Amir, despite the impact of the pandemic globally, issued directives to continue investing in education and health to ensure the prosperity of citizens and residents.
