Undersecretary Dr. Ibrahim bin Saleh Al Nuaimi explained that the model is rooted in meticulous planning, performance efficiency, continuous measurement, and data-driven decision-making. He stressed Qatar's commitment to education enhancement and the accompanying training program designed to empower educational leaders and staff.
Dr. Abdulrahman bin Ibrahim Al Medaires, UNESCO's Regional Center Director, said the model's presence in Qatar marks a significant step in turning Arab educational agreements into practice. He called for deepening quality as an investment in people, particularly focusing on early childhood education.
Dr. Mohamed Ould Amar, ALECSO Director-General, stressed that education quality is a strategic issue tied to building human capital and innovation capabilities. UNESCO's Prof. Qun Chen noted the model's alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4 and highlighted the global teacher shortage, calling for the adoption of the "The Teacher We Want" initiative.
