DOHA: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education once again called on parents who wish to transfer their children from private Arab and international schools to public schools, to promptly complete the certificate equivalency procedures and avoid waiting till September, which will postpone the transaction resulting in missing the beginning of the academic year 2018-19 with their peers.  The ministry also urged them to review the certificate equivalency section at the building annexed to the ministry located in C Ring Road in July and August to equalize the certificate issued from their private schools, in order to ensure their attendance in public schools from the start of the new academic year, QNA reported

In the recent years, there has been an annual increase in the number of transfers from private schools to public schools by Qatari and non-Qatari students.
