Minister of Education and Higher Education HE Dr Mohammed bin Abdul Wahed Al Hammadi expressed his gratitude to the Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani for patronising the Education Excellence Award Day ceremony, especially in light of the exceptional circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic, considering this as evidence of the importance attached by HH the Amir to this award and his belief that education is the main engine of sustainable development.
In his speech at the 14th Education Excellence Award Day ceremony 2021, the minister affirmed that his ministry has made great efforts to reduce the pandemic’s negative effects in the field of education, as it decided to implement a distance education system and ensured a smooth transition to this system in Qatar’s schools.
The minister said that despite the challenges, 374 contestants in all categories of the award applied from private and public schools, as well as local and international universities and 71 winners were announced. He said the ceremony also witnessed the launch of the Education Excellence Ambassadors Program, who were selected from the previous winners in order to contribute to educating and motivating students, deepening the concepts of excellence in the Qatari community, and promoting positive trends towards innovation, creativity, and scientific research among youth.
For his part, First Lieutenant Eng. Ahmed Abdullah Ali Al Jubran Al Buainain, winner of the Education Excellence Award this year in the category of Master’s degree holders, delivered a speech on behalf of all of his colleagues, winners of the award from all categories. He expressed happiness of the award winners at the patronage of HH the Amir at this ceremony, stressing that this honour and celebration are the culmination of what the wise leadership has worked and is still working on in terms of investing in Qatari people and building a high-level educational system that prepares the Qatari citizen to face the challenges of the twenty-first century.
