Dated February 1992, this English edition was prepared especially on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of HH the Emir Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad Al-Thani's accession, to familiarise non-Arabic speakers with the history of education in Qatar, the challenges it experienced and overcame, and its contribution to progress and prosperity. It contains a history, a description of the present, and future prospects. The history begins in 1890, when there were 10 Kuttabs, and covers the early years to 1950, setting up a modern system (1950-57), generalised education (1956/7), independence, and the present. Other chapters cover concepts, policy and objectives; qualitative development (management, curricula, evaluation and exams, teacher preparation and training, services and facilities); quantitative development (data on students, teachers, schools, expenditures, adult education, subsidiary education, outputs etc, with breakdowns where relevant for male / female, Qataris / non-Qataris etc); and evaluation and development.
