Education

Qatar has numerous schools and is able to cater for local and most foreign national needs.

The Ministry of Education and the Supreme Education Council jointly control the education system. The Supreme Education Council, however, is currently more influential and is trying to create a world-class education system in Qatar. It does this by giving the schools independence to exercise more control over their own affairs.

International and private schools are popular among expatriates but it is not uncommon to find many locals attending these schools. Most popular curriculums include the International, British, American and French.

Most schools have a waiting list so it’s best to contact the schools well in advance. Schools accept students at any time of the year depending on place availability. Requirements for an application to a school are a passport copy, recent school report, 2 passport photos and an up to date immunization card.
