  "account": "The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) has initiated its annual training season for educational staff, aligning with the start of the 2026-27 academic year. The centre, responsible for professional licensing programmes for teachers, comprises about half of its total training offerings. This initiative seeks to bolster professional skills, foster career growth, and elevate educational outcomes across government institutions.\n\nAbdulrahman Jassim al-Baker, head of the Educational Training Department, reported that the centre has meticulously prepared for the launch, accommodating various staff members, including school leaders, teachers, administrative personnel, and ministry employees. In the first two weeks, over 1,000 individuals participated in sessions held across approximately 80 training rooms.\n\nThe centre provides a wide array of programs, including strategic, specialized, and elective courses, tailored to the ministry’s objectives and Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy. Topics encompass science, mathematics, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and modern communication skills. These programs aim to empower employees, facilitate career progression, and prepare staff for evolving roles.\n\nHistorically, the centre has trained over 33,000 participants annually, with plans to broaden its impact this academic year while preserving training quality. Professional licensing continues to be a cornerstone, with ongoing programmes throughout both semesters to ensure continuous development for teachers from start to finish. Training durations vary, ranging from 15 hours for the final level to 60 hours for the initial level. The centre collaborates closely with schools to synchronize training schedules with school calendars, allowing teachers to attend sessions during regular working hours without disrupting school operations.",
