Doha: As the school reopening date approaches nearer a senior official with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education said that the precautionary measures implemented in schools make it safe to return in light of the ongoing pandemic
“We do not know when the pandemic will end, and we must live with it and achieve the goals of the educational process by continuing it. We expect the cooperation of parents to make the current school year a success,” Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education Fawzia Al Khater, said during an interview with Qatar Radio this morning.
