Doha: Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education Dr. Ibrahim bin Saleh Al Nuaimi said that Education Excellence Award has become an example of excellence and distinction, and has contributed to discovering the creative and talented students.
He said that the award is characterized by the highest international scientific standards, which makes the participation and winning of it an honour sought by all, which in turn has contributed to expanding the circle of participation in the competition - earning a good reputation inside and outside Qatar.
Dr. Al Nuaimi said that the honourable patronage of H H the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani of the Education Excellence Day Award, and His Highness’ constant keenness to patronise the excellence ceremony and honour the winners, emphasizes the extent of His Highness’ interest in science and the educational system in Qatar in its various levels of study, including public and university education, and excellence in all its categories.
This patronisation has added great importance to the award and given it sublime dimensions, connotations and meanings, which has been proved by the great demand, development and competition that the award is witnessing year after year, he added.
Dr. Al Nuaimi called relevant students, schools and holders of university and higher degrees to participate in the award, each in their field, to achieve victory, excellence and aspiration, as well as play a vital role in rooting the culture of excellence in society, stressing that the participation is open for those aspiring to achieve success, and that excellence requires investing time, confidence, continuous giving and great effort.
He emphasised that investing in science and education is an investment in people and in the future, pointing out the approach of Qatar and its wise leadership, which comes from Qatar’s belief that the Qatari citizen - with their weapons of science and knowledge, will be able to fulfil their responsibilities of citizenship and give back to a homeland that spared no effort in their favour.
The distinguished students, who will have the honour of shaking hands with H H the Amir on the day where the world will witness a celebration of their excellence, will play a role model for those who aspire to achieve excellence, Dr. Al Nuaimi said, adding that the door of excellence is open to all, but requires mastery, sincerity, perseverance and determination to achieve goals.
He said that the Award, after 15 years of its launch, has become entrenched within Qatari society and has become a scientific and developmental heritage, further noting that the award has achieved its objectives and has become a vital means for human development.
Dr. Al Nuaimi stressed that reaching this level of excellence places Qatar’s youth, especially the distinguished ones, each in their position, facing greater challenges, which is to maintain what they have reached and achieve more, because hopes will remain attached to them as role models to be followed in their footsteps to reach the desired excellence.
