Ministry honours 56 evening education graduates

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education in Qatar celebrated the academic achievements of 56 graduates from the country's evening education centres. The event, held in conjunction with International Literacy Day, took place at the Sheikh Abdullah al-Ansari Complex and was attended by Undersecretary Dr Ibrahim bin Saleh al-Nuaimi. The honourees were part of 759 students who graduated from the evening centres during the 2025/2026 academic year, with 402 being male and 357 female.

The ceremony underscored the significant role these centres play in providing opportunities for individuals seeking to continue their education and improve their lives. Around 1,620 students from various nationalities enrolled in the centres, with Qataris comprising 48.5% of the total and non-Qataris 51.5%. This diverse enrollment highlights the centres' contribution to widening access to education for the broader community.

Fatima Yousuf al-Obaidli, assistant director of the School and Student Affairs Department, addressed the graduates, urging them to view their secondary school diplomas as the start of a new chapter of learning, achievement, and personal development. She encouraged them to continue their studies and use their newly acquired knowledge, experience, and skills to shape their futures and contribute to their country and community.

The Continuing Education Department, under the School and Student Affairs Department, oversees the nine evening education centres in Qatar. The centres offer flexible educational options to cater to the diverse needs of Qatar's society, both men's and women's centres. These programmes support learners in developing their abilities, pursuing further education, employment, and community participation, thereby supporting Qatar's commitment to human development and lifelong learning.
