Doha: The private sector’s investment in the field of education is in line with Qatar’s goals to achieve knowledge-based economy.

Thanks to cooperation among government entities including the Ministry of Education and Higher Education the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Interior difficulties facing private schools are being removed said Mohammed bin Ahmed bin Tawar Al Kuwari deputy chairman of Qatar Chamber and Head of Education Committee.

The panel is working with authorities to help remove difficulties being faced by private schools he said.

Al Kuwari was speaking at a meeting held by the committee at the chamber’s premises to discuss difficulties and problems facing the education centres for people with disabilities.

The meeting also discussed challenges facing investors looking to establish educational centres for people with disabilities and the need to get licences and the role the committee can play in removing hindrances in collaboration with authorities.

The meeting stressed that the ministries of education and health need to facilitate the opening of such centres as the number of those needing them is increasing.

A team formed earlier to study the case presented during the meeting received 13 proposals to help solve problems and remove difficulties facing people with disabilities with regard to education.

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has classified people with disabilities into categories with the first needing treatment and facing learning difficulties and the second needing treatment said Khalid Al Sa’adi Head of the centre for people with disabilities at the ministry.

The terms and conditions for opening educational centres for the first category are not strict but for the second category there is the need to have a doctor or a nurse permanently at the centre Al Sa’adi added.

The law does not allow practising medical treatment at education institutions so there is the need to get a licence from the Ministry of Health for the purpose.

A representative of the Ministry of Health Eyhab Abdul Aziz stressed that the ministry will study the proposals in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education.
