The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) in Qatar is actively streamlining the expansion of its public school network to meet the growing population, rising student numbers, and changing educational needs across various areas. Head of the Admissions and Registration Section, Ghaliya Mahdi Al Qahtani, explained that the Ministry identifies areas requiring new schools through pre-prepared studies and future development plans, taking into account factors such as population density, existing and projected student numbers, school overcrowding, urban expansion, and the educational needs of different communities.
In the 2026-27 academic year, five new schools were opened, including general and specialized institutions, with a focus on improving geographical distribution of students and kindergartens to ensure efficient educational services and balanced student numbers. This expansion effort extends beyond just constructing new schools and includes measures to enhance access to educational services and align schools with the demographic and geographical characteristics of their surrounding areas.
