Teaching in the Independent Schools

In her weekly column in Al Raya Newspaper, Nora Al Musifri is urging Qatari women, especially recent graduates to accept the challenge of teaching in the Independent Schools and share in the efforts of developing the education system in Qatar. In her call, Al Musifri acknowledges the recent efforts of the Supreme Education Council to amend the operational system in the Independent Schools which creates a conducive environment for women to work in.

“In fair comparison, Independent Schools provide better opportunities for teachers to develop themselves and help them achieve their career objectives which is not the case at the Ministry of Education schools, although the MoE has a shorter working day,” she says

Independent Schools provide a golden opportunity for serious and keen teachers who appreciate their work, because it gives them a chance to develop their talents, attitudes, capabilities as well as spiritual appreciation which might not be available at MoE schools. In addition, qualified and competent and hard working teachers receive fair financial compensations.

“I take this opportunity to call on all Qatari teachers particularly new graduates to join the Independent Schools which appear more secure and prosperous than ever before. By so doing, they will provide the reform with national teachers who have the much needed skills and knowledge at this crucial time. We need Qataris to teach our students how they can benefit from various facilities available in these schools.”

She goes on to ask why Qatari teachers do not give themselves a chance to experience this new system and discover their potential. This is an invitation for you to prove that you are capable of overcoming the challenges and obstacles and ultimately achieving the goal of the education reform.
