In the first agreement signed with Orbital Education, UDC has named the leading British educational group as the operator of the United School International (USI) that will be set up in the Giardino Village Precinct at The Pearl-Qatar.

UDC president and CEO and member of the Board, Ibrahim Jassim Al Othman, and Orbital Education chairman, Kevin McNeany, signed the agreement during a ceremony held at the Oyster Building, The Pearl-Qatar, in the presence of British ambassador Ajay Sharma.

USI will be the second school in Qatar to be managed by Orbital Education. The entity currently owns and operates several schools in countries across the globe including Hungary, Slovenia, Spain, Russia, China, and Ecuador.

On the occasion, Ambassador Sharma expressed his delight on the collaboration between UDC and Orbital Education stating that the cooperation in the field of education supports Qatar National Vision 2030 that “concentrates on building a world-class education system.”

“This is a sector, which I firmly believe offers the UK and Qatar many exciting opportunities. Education co-operation will strengthen the important relationship between our two countries for generations to come,” he said.

Al Othman said, “Through our offerings to serve the educational needs of The Pearl-Qatar’s community and neighborhoods, we aim to cement the Island’s position as an attractive destination for families and business professionals alike.”
