The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs announced that it will restart teaching the Holy Quran to students at teaching centers for boys in mosques across the country from November 1, 2021.

Moreover, this announcement is in line with Qatar’s plan for the gradual lifting of precautionary measures to limit the spread of COVID-19.

The Department of Advocacy and Religious Guidance has devised a strategy to assist the restart of Holy Quran education centers' operations and a gradual return to pre-pandemic levels.

The plan considers the current precautionary measures in place, such as social separation between students and educational staff, wearing a mask, requiring educational staff to complete vaccination doses, checking the temperature on a daily basis, and ensuring workers' health before allowing them into the centers.

The initial aim, according to Mal Allah Al-Jaber, Director of the Department of Call and Religious Guidance, is to resume student return to 61 facilities in mosques, encompassing the bulk of the country's areas. The names and addresses of these mosques will be released later via the Ministry's social media channels.

From November 1, the registration process will take place at these facilities in chosen mosques, according to Al-Jaber.

The Department of Da`wah and Religious Guidance called upon the public to abide by the terms and conditions set by the Department to accept the student. They are as follows:

1. The student must be 10 years old or above.
2. To be within the geographical scope of the center.
3. Priority is given to students of the center who were previously registered before the pandemic at the beginning of 2020.
4. Bring a recent personal photo and a copy of the Qatari ID or passport.
5. Fill out the enrollment form for the centers of teaching the Holy Quran, signed by the guardian.
6. A pledge to abide by the official working hours and the rules and regulations in force, including the precautionary measures.

In this regard, the Ministry's Department of Advocacy and Religious Guidance issued a circular to all civil centers licensed by the Ministry in accordance with Law No. 12 of 2011 regarding the establishment and organization of religious centers, allowing male and female students at the headquarters of these 25 community centers to resume their educational process.

According to Al-Jaber, all of the endowment facilities, roughly six facilities with learning centers distinct from mosques, were open in the first phase, nearly two months ago.

Al-Jaber emphasized that distance education will continue in the Quranic program (Tahed) for boys and girls, which is hosted through the Ministry of Education's platform in the (Microsoft Teams) program, with a total of 406 episodes for boys and over three thousand pupils.

A total of 381 seminars for females are organized, with over 4,800 pupils of all ages and levels being overseen by administrative, technical, and technical professionals.
