DOHA: The upgrading of educational curricula in the country in terms of quality is based on the skills that the Ministry seeks to teach students, said Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Fawzia Al Khater.

She said that the move also aims at enhancing students’ educational abilities and ideas and enable them to perform their duties better, which contributes to raising their academic level.

The development of the educational curriculum in Qatar includes all levels and courses, and the learning resources developed in the current academic year will be applied from grades 1 to 10, and will be applied at the 11th level in the coming year, followed by the 12th level.

Al Khater added in a press statement after her visit  to Tiba Primary School and Al Wajbah Preparatory Girls School that such visits aim to follow up the preparations that represent all the inputs of the educational process, adding that this is not limited to knowledge and exploration, but to exchange ideas with teachers, coordinators, supervisors, school principals and female students, to ensure that the laws and circulars of the ministry are followed and applied in the field of education.

The visit aims at following up the absorptive capacity of the school classrooms and the readiness of the schools academically, administratively and professionally to coincide with the launch and development of the new educational curricula that were updated this year to the academic levels in all subjects from grades 1 to 10.
