Registration and accreditation of school leaders and teachers

Teacher excellence is a crucial element of Qatar’s K-12 education reform. Having accomplished and qualified teachers and school leaders will ensure that the students are equipped with the right skills to be able to compete in the 21st Century workplace. The Evaluation Institute of the Supreme Education Council (SEC) launched the Qatar Office of Registration, Licensing and Accreditation (QORLA) of Independent School Teachers and Leaders to enhance and support teachers when they enter the field and continue throughout their career. The program also helps independent school leaders and staff attains the skills necessary to run and coordinate extraordinary schools.

The program involves a three-year registration process spanning three levels - entry, professional, and advanced license. These levels are granted in accordance with the standards achieved by teachers and leaders through the demonstration of their understanding of the National Professional Standards. Each teacher or school leader is granted a license based on his or her level of proficiency.
