The Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, Dr. Ibrahim bin Saleh Al Nuaimi said yesterday teachers’ presence in school is important as they can impart knowledge to students in the most effective way by using latest technology.
“A teacher has a very important humanitarian message in building societies and his or her presence is very much needed in the school because many technologies and equipment are available only at school. By using the technology, they can teach students in the best possible way. By staying at home, the teachers will not be able to teach students effectively,” he said while speaking to Qatar TV yesterday.
The number of teaching hours and classes has been reduced, in implementation of the decisions of the Cabinet, he added. Al Nuaimi pointed out that “The Ministry has spared no efforts in providing the precautionary measures and vaccination to prevent the spread of the coronavirus among teachers”.
Regarding the Ministry’s need for new teachers from abroad, he said that the Ministry every year recruits teachers especially for some technical specialisations that are not provided by the College of Education, as well as specialisations related to people with special needs.
In addition, there is a need to recruit male teachers, as most of those who join the College of Education programs are females. Another reason for hiring new teachers is the increase in the number of students and the opening of new schools for boys.
"Teaching is a respected profession and we call on society to support the citizen to join this profession. There are many privileges that are offered to the teachers, which we hope will encourage Qataris to join," Dr. Ibrahim bin Saleh Al Nuaimi said.
