‘See Qatar – Educational’ contains information, data and statistics in Arabic and English that will assist guests and visitors in making feasibility studies related to the country’s educational sector. The directory also gives information about laws, regulations and procedures in schools and universities in Qatar.
The directory, aimed at promoting the educational sector in Qatar, is part of an integrated project called See Qatar that consists of a series of directories covering the sport, tourism, health, investment (real estate, financial, agricultural) commercial, cultural, industrial and the exhibitions and conferences sectors.
The Supreme Education Council and the Ministry of Business and Trade sponsored the project.
The electronic guide also contains a commercial directory of trade and service providers aside from information on kindergartens, schools and educational centres, colleges and universities and even suppliers of educational materials and services.
Dr Khalid Klefeekh Al Hajri, QCCI manager, said in his speech that he considered the project unique and an important addition to the corpus of information on Qatar. He added he was impressed by the project upon learning that the directory is contained in a small, business card-sized CD.
Mohamed bin Nasser Al Attiyah, Chairman of See Qatar, underlined in his speech the importance of the education sector, which is a key part of the government’s programme to make the country’s economy knowledge-based.
He pointed out that the e-guide and directory was the first of its kind in Qatar and it provided comprehensive information to guide all those who want to know about the education sector in Qatar.
Dr. Yousef Al Horr, president of Strategy and Investment, Barwa, the strategic partner of See Qatar, said the project will help promote tourism and highlight the efforts of Qatar Foundation, the Supreme Education Council and other authorities.
Al Horr said Barwa’s sponsorship of this project is a part of its strategy of supporting and sponsoring development projects related to education and youth and enhancing the country’s standing in these fields regionally and globally.
Heballah Habib, See Qatar general manager, pointed out that ‘See Qatar – Educational’ was presented in an innovative and interactive way and its launch was in line with the trends towards e-governance.
Habib said 100,000 free copies of the CD will be produced and delivered to the target audience through local and international distribution channels.
