DOHA: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education organised a seminar on the integration of the unjust siege on Qatar into the educational curricula, in which a number of specialists, educators and academics from some relevant state authorities took part.

Participants agreed on the importance of the subject and to include topics about the siege in curricula as a significant historical event.

They also pointed to other beneficial aspects of the unjust siege such as disseminating media awareness and refining the skills of students, and made a number of recommendations in this regard.

Rima Abu Khadija, director of the curricula and learning sources department at the Ministry, said the department will work on an urgent plan to include the recommendations in the curriculum for the 2018-19 academic year, whether in learning sources or through curricula-based student activities.
