Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) has announced the issuance of the first official identification card for licensed private tutoring teachers, as part of its ongoing efforts to regulate the private tutoring sector and enhance the quality of educational services provided to students.

The Ministry said the identification card serves as official proof that a teacher holds an approved license and must be presented while offering private tutoring services, whether at licensed educational centers or in homes. The move aims to promote transparency, protect students and parents, and curb unregulated tutoring practices outside the legal framework.

MoEHE noted that dealing with private tutors will be restricted to those holding both a valid license and the approved ID card. The measure is expected to improve professional and ethical standards among tutors, enable quicker verification by regulatory authorities, and increase public confidence in private tutoring services.

Iman Ali Al-Nuaimi, Director of the Educational Services Centers Department, said 182 teachers were approved out of 272 interviewed after rigorous checks on qualifications, experience, residency status, and interviews. She added that tutoring centers were given a one-month grace period to rectify the status of remaining teachers, underscoring the Ministry’s commitment to quality education in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
