Teachers represent cornerstone of building Qatar’s human capital: Minister – The Peninsula

Doha: The Minister of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) H E Buthaina bint Ali Al Jabr Al Nuaimi has stressed that the teacher represents the cornerstone of building Qatar's human capital, while sustainable development and a knowledge-based economy are based on an educated population who are aware of the challenges of the present and set an eye on the future to secure a prosperous life for future generations.

Speaking during World Teachers' Day, which falls on October 5 every year, the minister said that Qatar's national education system places the student at the center of its strategic directions without neglecting the pivotal role of the teacher in supporting these trends.

This year's event was held under the slogan "Messenger of Knowledge, Thank You."

The minister said that the celebration of World Teachers' Day, particularly this year, holds a profound message that expresses the state of education in the whole world, as the theme for World Teachers' Day 2022 is "The transformation of education begins with teachers."

Her Excellency pointed out that this comes in line with global trends toward the issue of the future of education after the COVID-19 pandemic.
