This agreement aims to rehabilitate schools that were damaged due to the conflict and provide all necessary facilities in addition to providing school supplies to students and financial incentives to teachers, which will help continue the educational process and get rid of illiteracy, as well as reduce the dropout rate of male and female students and enhance the chances of completing education.
Qatar Charity is currently implementing a program to support the education of orphan students in 22 governorates, where various monthly assistance will be provided to more than 600 students in the Taiz districts and more than 400 students in Ibb Governorate.
Education is Qatar respects the tradition and conservative nature of its people, while espousing latest technology and pedagogic methods. While the 6 years of primary education are compulsory, all state schooling is free. Unusually, private schools are actively encouraged too, with all costs covered.
There are 19 secondary schools for boys, and 22 for girls, as well as a number of private ones of both kinds. The government is experimenting with alternatives to general education, and has recently opened two scientific secondary schools.
Education is one of the most critical pillars in Qatar's vision of a diversified, knowledge-based economy and a prosperous future for its citizens. The Ministry's goal is to produce confident, self-reliant, and hard-working critical thinkers. Students will graduate with 21st-century skills and values to succeed in higher education, in the workforce and in life.
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MOEHE) is the government entity charged with supporting and regulating education in Qatar. That includes a full array of K-12 public and private schools and high-quality institutions of higher education.

The emergence of branch campuses in the Gulf has been particularly impactful for women, as social stigma attached to women studying abroad has limited their educational opportunities in the past. Getting an internationally accredited education is now possible for many women in the Gulf without having to leave their own country, leading to an unprecedented level of choice for women in higher education. These campuses offer undergraduate and graduate programs in a wide range of disciplines to a diverse body of students from all over the world. Women now have more options than ever to pursue degrees at home, including in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) disciplines that have often been dominated by men. In addition, Gulf governments such as the UAE offer scholarships for citizens to study at the undergraduate and graduate levels, including study abroad scholarships.
The easiest place to see education competition is school to school, where institutions compete for reputation, funding, and students. But at a larger level, a very real and very consequential educational market exists country to country.

Along with the engineering team Khatib & Alami, Flansburgh Architects, worked with Qatar University on the New College of Education. The college was designed to attract new students and improve the reputation of the region. The 59,000 sq-m school was constructed to high sustainability standards. As the educational planner, Flansburgh Architects, completed the project in April.
Business leaders have discovered the limitations of large, centralized bureaucracies in dealing with rapidly changing market conditions. . . The worldwide recessions of the late 1980s and early 1990s have drawn attention to the crucial role of education in building sound economies, and experience has shown that many centralized systems of education are not working. A global debate about the proper role of the state has led to more emphasis on the concepts of free markets, competition, and even privatization.
Following the Qatar National Vision 2030 (General Secretariat for Development Planning 2008), a list of strategies was developed at a state level. All educational institutions were asked to promote creativity and innovation in teaching and learning, in order to help students develop 21st-century skills (Said 2016). Over the next decade, a list of transferred policies and strategies for educational innovation was implemented under the supervision of various sectors of the government. The aims of implementing these educational reforms were (1) to provide schools with the chance to develop innovative approaches to curriculum and pedagogy, and (2) to develop learners with critical thinking and creativity.

During the last decade, Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development has attracted six branch campuses of American Institutions of higher learning to the Education City in Qatar, a 2500-acre area, which is rapidly becoming a model of integrating higher education and research in the region. Not-for profit, time-tested education institutions from abroad in public-private partnership with local organizations offer favorable conditions to build robust research programs in the region. Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q) of Cornell University is an example such an institution. It is the first and only medical school in Qatar.
Based on our own collective experience in global health, medical education and research, we feel business-type government controlled universities are not the solution for overcoming the challenges facing higher education and research programs in the Middle East. However, not-for profit, time-tested education institutions from abroad with local financial support and working in close collaboration with the host country's institutions show promise and may offer exciting opportunities. A case in point is Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q). WCMC-Q's interwoven framework of education, research, public health and clinical components lays a sturdy foundation for developing evidence based translational research as discussed in this review.
Under the umbrella of QF, there are several premier research and or education institutions. These include the Education City (EC) of which WCMC-Q is an integral part, Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) and the Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF). The overall intent is to connect the industry, academic and government sectors into what is commonly referred to as the Triple Helix model [4,5]. The model provides a conceptual framework for regional development.
This institution, its students, faculty, educational, clinical and research resources, processes and traditions are in the early stages of development. WCMC-Q graduated its inaugural class in May 2008. Its students and faculty, as well its local affiliate Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) faculty, are remarkably diverse in terms of their cultural, social and educational backgrounds.
The Premedical Program at WCMC-Q offers a range of courses chosen to meet WCMC Q admission requirements and to offer breadth of education. While most of the courses focus on mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, an effort has been made to offer humanities and social science courses such as psychology and medical ethics. While such a curriculum may appear rigid and too heavily science-oriented, it allows for a solid and integrated learning experience. There is a close and continuous interaction among the faculty delivering the courses, and the students have the opportunity to better appreciate the unifying themes and concepts lying behind the nominally distinct sciences.
