DOHA: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has organised a variety of religious activities, events, and valuable programmes for students of government schools during the blessed month of Ramadan.
This comes from its keenness to promote awareness of the holy month and ensure the attainment of great rewards. Some of these activities were conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, Qatar Charity, and the Center for Educating Tomorrow's Leaders.
In this context, the ministry organized a distinguished program aimed at nurturing and supporting talented students and highlighting their ability to recite the Holy Quran. This programme was supervised by the Islamic education department at the Educational Guidance Administration, with the participation of 14 students from various academic levels. Additionally, there was an initiative in collaboration with the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, aiming to select talented and distinguished students to lead prayers and give the call to prayer from all government secondary schools.
This initiative contributed to enhancing students' confidence in themselves and encouraging them to practice the great Islamic rituals, which have a significant impact on their upbringing in obedience to Allah and adherence to Islamic law.
In the same context, the ministry organized an event in collaboration with the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. 16 teachers, coordinators, and academic deputies from its staff were nominated to deliver speeches, sermons, and lessons in various mosques across Qatar during the blessed month of Ramadan.
On another note, the ministry, in partnership with Qatar Charity, hosted an event, aiming to activate the participation of students in model boys' schools, promote voluntary and humanitarian work, and assist and provide aid to those in need. Participating students distributed iftar meals to fasting individuals in Ramadan tents near the schools.
Following the tradition of the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him), and to promote the value of social solidarity, the ministry organized an activity in collaboration with Qatar Charity. The activity involved collecting food baskets from school students and delivering them to needy families in Qatar, with the participation of 113 government schools from various academic levels.
Furthermore, the ministry launched a Ramadan in collaboration with the Center for Educating Tomorrow's Leaders, aiming to encourage the participation of schools, students, and their parents in such distinguished religious activities.
