Qatar’s Minister of Education and Higher Education Saad Ibrahim has stressed that the country’s “Qatarization” drive would have no negative impact on the quality of education at independent schools. Relevant officials have been instructed to implement the nationalization campaign as a gradual process and ensure that the system suffers from no ill effects. The minister also said the Supreme Education Council was seeking to attract nationals to join the teaching profession by making the field one of the more appealing professions in the country. The SEC currently assesses teachers’ skills through three different licenses. This system allows educators sufficient opportunity to reach the desired professional development and augment their skills.
