Doha: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has launched a new regulatory guide for private schools and kindergartens, outlining unified standards for addressing violations and strengthening compliance to ensure a safe, stable and sustainable learning environment. The guide was unveiled at an event at the ministry's headquarters, attended by senior officials and representatives of private schools and kindergartens.

The initiative is part of efforts to improve the quality of educational services, strengthen compliance with regulatory requirements and ensure institutions operate in an environment that protects rights and promotes national values and identity. The guide aims to standardise procedures for identifying and addressing violations, strengthen preventive measures and clearly define the responsibilities of licence holders, school leaders and employees.

Director of the Department of Private Schools and Kindergartens Dr Rania Mohammed outlined the guide's main areas, covering administrative operations, human resources, fees and financial affairs, student registration, academic affairs, security, health and safety, student behaviour and counselling, values and national identity, mandatory evaluation and school accreditation, as well as legal compliance and serious violations.

She explained that the guide establishes a gradual approach to handling observations and violations based on their nature, severity and impact, specifying required procedures and deadlines and monitoring corrective measures.
