As the registration in private schools and preschools opened on Monday, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, represented in the Private Education Affairs Sector, has advised parents to identify the educational system they would like to choose for their children.
Each of the different educational systems specifies a set of requirements related to student admission into academic stages, using different names for certain age groups.
The registration is open until mid-October.
The ministry stated that guidance on the International Education Systems Equivalency Table has been outlined in the ‘Guidelines for the admission of students into private schools in the State of Qatar’. The student’s age is the main factor used for determining the academic level in which the student should be placed.
Parents and schools have a mutual responsibility to refer to that table for determining the proper academic level. Each school, however, will act according to its own academic policy.
Hamad Al Ghali, director of Private Schools Licensing Department (PSLD,) said that, according to the circular communicated to private schools and preschools, early registration, which opened on Monday, March 1, will run until Thursday, October 14, 2021.
He said registration of overseas students, however, will remain open until the end of January 2022. Each school shall determine and announce its own mechanism for registration in accordance with the ministry’s laws and regulations.
Ghali added that Qatar has over 325 private schools and preschools offering 30 different curricula, which provide a wide variety of options for parents.
He also called on the parents to avail the online services that the ministry provides for the private education sector on its Public Services Portal.
He said parents can access the portal to obtain up-to-date guidance and information related to the private schools and preschools in Qatar, adding that official websites of schools are provided along with other main pages that explains the educational policy for each.
