Doha, Qatar – The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has launched the “Educational Institutions Licensing” platform, now accessible to educational entities throughout Qatar. This initiative forms part of the Ministry’s commitment to bolstering the digital infrastructure for private education, streamlining licensing procedures, and providing a user-friendly, secure online experience for stakeholders.
Designed to improve administrative efficiency, the platform allows educational institutions to apply for and monitor licensing processes more effectively, a step anticipated to elevate the quality of educational services across Qatar.
Omar Abdulaziz Al-Naama, Assistant Undersecretary for Private Education Affairs, commented on the initiative: “The launch of the Private Educational Institutions Licensing Platform represents a significant advancement in the automation of educational services. It aligns with the directives of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, in line with Qatar’s National Vision 2030, to foster a supportive environment for education sector investment and meet the country’s developmental needs.”
Dr. Mona Salem Al-Fadhli, Director of the Information Systems Department, also emphasized the platform’s role in the Ministry’s digital transformation: “This platform offers a streamlined, integrated experience for licensing applications, covering all services for nurseries, educational centers, schools, and private kindergartens. Investors can complete, manage, and follow up on transactions online through a fully automated portal, reducing the need for in-person visits.”
The platform offers various services, including issuing, renewing, and managing licenses for educational institutions, modifying entity details, granting permissions for advertising and events, and providing options for license cancellations. With a focus on Qatar’s National Vision 2030, the platform also establishes a modern framework to enhance private education standards, benefiting both investors and educational service providers.
This launch marks a transformative shift towards efficiency, accessibility, and higher quality service in Qatar’s private education sector.
