Doha:
Qatar’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education has honoured 63 private
schools and kindergartens with the trophy in the third edition of the “White
Flag” Award, recognising institutions that maintained a clean record without
violations or official warnings for three consecutive years.
The
award ceremony was organised by the Ministry’s Private Schools and
Kindergartens Department and School Licensing Department. Dr Rania Yousri
Mohamed, Director of the Private Schools and Kindergartens Department and
Acting Director of the School Licensing Department, said the third edition
marked the completion of the award’s first cycle. In addition to the 63
institutions receiving trophies, 45 received shields and 99 were awarded
certificates of appreciation.
A
total of 207 private educational institutions were recognised this year,
comprising 126 schools and 81 kindergartens, compared with 166 institutions
last year. The award aims to promote institutional excellence and encourage
compliance with laws and regulations, while fostering safe and stable learning
environments, positive relationships with parents and responsible cooperation
with the Ministry.
The
award is based on clear criteria, including maintaining records free of
violations and warnings during the academic year, having no substantiated
complaints, ensuring accuracy in administrative transactions and maintaining
effective communication with families. Institutions receive a certificate of
appreciation in the first year, a White Flag shield in the second year and the
trophy in the third year, provided they continue to meet the required
standards.
Dr Rania noted that the increase in recognised institutions came despite stricter eligibility criteria, including the addition of licensing-related warnings. She said the achievement reflected growing awareness and commitment among private educational institutions, as well as continued cooperation between the Ministry and the education sector to uphold quality.
