Doha: Under the patronage of H E Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Founder and Chairperson, Teach For Qatar celebrated the graduation of the first cohort of Fellows who completed their Fellowship, or Leadership Journey during the 2014-2016 academic years.

The ceremony at Museum of Islamic Art was attended by Nasser Al Jaber, CEO, Teach For Qatar, school principals, alumni honourees and their families.

Sheikha Hind said: 'This honouring ceremony reflects Teach for Qatar";s continued efforts and commitment to enhance the educational system throughout Independent schools in the state. It also marks an important milestone in our journey to achieve our mission to work as part of the solution to help solve some of the challenges Qatar";s students face.

'Today, as our Fellows set off on their path to serve and elevate their nation, they will take on the role of ambassadors of education, promoting a culture of excellence in education, regardless of their career choices,” she added.

On behalf of graduates, Sara Fayyad said: 'All of us leave today with deep sense of gratitude towards our teachers and a greater appreciation for the teaching profession in general. We have a greater love for our students and co-workers, and are motivated to work hard to improve education in Qatar.”

Each graduate was awarded a certificate of appreciation by a student who they individually selected for being an inspiration and playing an instrumental role in shaping their journey.

Throughout their leadership journey, graduates contributed to the educational development of more than 1,200 students in nine schools in Qatar. Focusing on self-development and leadership, the Leadership Journey, which is a two-year teaching and leadership development programme, enabled Fellows to take ownership of their personal growth and become effective leaders, providing them with a greater understanding of their role in contributing to positive change in their communities.
