DOHA: The draft law organising nurseries has got the Cabinet nod.
The State Cabinet, in its regular session, yesterday decided to take the necessary measures to issue the draft law, after reviewing the recommendations of the Advisory Council.
According to the draft law, nurseries should provide the appropriate conditions for development of the skills and talents of children in various fields using sound education methods.
