Qatar Foundation launches Islamic Civilisation curriculum in its schools starting with new academic year
DOHA: Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) has announced the inclusion of the 'Islamic Civilisation' curriculum in its educational curriculum starting from the 2025-2026 academic year. This comes as part of its efforts to strengthen students' connection to their cultural roots and consolidate their understanding of their national and cultural identity. The Foundation explained in a statement that the new curriculum is an innovative educational course aimed at students in grades six through nine in schools affiliated with Qatar Foundation's Pre-University Education. It explores the most important milestones of Islamic civilisation across four pivotal eras, through interactive educational tracks that connect values, knowledge, and identity, working to instill a sense of belonging and enhance historical awareness. In this context, Sarah Al Hajri, Director of Student Affairs and Community Partnerships at Pre-University Education at Qatar Foundation, said: 'This course addresses the existing gap in international school curricula, where students study Qatari history without a comprehensive understanding of the history of Islamic civilization in its comprehensive sense.' She added that the curriculum enables students to learn about the contributions of Islamic civilisation to the human journey, linking the past to the present, and the general to the specific, thus shaping a balanced awareness that enhances self-esteem and guides a sense of belonging. She explained that the curriculum is distinguished by its focus on analysing the impact of Islamic civilisation on various aspects of life and the contributions it has made to humanity, departing from the traditional narrative of historical events. She pointed out that the curriculum's implementation relies on inquiry-based research units, whereby students receive basic information, explore its developments and applications, and connect it to contemporary reality. She emphasized that this represents an investment in students' awareness and a stimulating educational experience that unleashes their energies for the future. For his part, Dr Ali Al Sallabi, Secretary-General of the International Union of Muslim Scholars and one of the participants in the curriculum review, emphasized that the inclusion of Islamic Civilisationin school curricula represents a crucial step in light of the intellectual and cultural challenges facing the new generation. An Islamic writer and preacher specializing in Islamic history, thought, and Quranic interpretation, he explained that the past decades have witnessed the dominance of cultural movements in the Arab and Islamic world, influencing its intellectual and civilisational dimensions. He noted that the influence of these movements persists despite their declining military and political presence. He said that Islamic civilisation is characterized by material, moral, spiritual, and moral dimensions that the new generation needs more than ever before. Teaching this civilisation contributes to saving generations from confusion and providing them with a compass that guides them and a light that directs them to the Book of God and the Sunnah of His Prophet. He pointed out that the curriculum review focused on including prominent cultural landmarks, inspiring stories, Quranic verses and Prophetic hadiths, as well as highlighting influential figures in the nation's history, and arranging the content to reflect the manifestations of Islamic civilisation. Dr Al Sallabi concluded by saying: "The new curriculum enhances students' understanding of the achievements of Islamic civilisation and its role in the contemporary world. It also empowers teachers to play a key role in broadening students' horizons and encouraging dialogue and discussion in a manner that combines logic and emotion, deepening their pride in their religion and history and motivating them to learn more about their ancient civilisation."

QRCS continues to support Yemen's water sector
Tribune News Network Doha The representation office of Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) in Yemen has completed a project to dig boreholes and construct water tanks in the towns of Lawdar and Mudiyah, Abyan Governorate. Aimed at securing clean water for 23,200 people, the project had a total cost of $413,115, funded from the giving of benevolent Qatari donors. It involved digging four boreholes, installing solar-powered pumping systems, constructing four 27 cubic metre concrete water storage tanks, building control rooms to manage and operate borehole components, and extending 3,926-metre water supply networks connecting boreholes and tanks. During the technical procedures to hand the project's outcomes over to the local communities and competent authorities, Gamal Alala, director-general of Lawdar, expressed his great happiness with the project: 'With generous support from QRCS, we are inaugurating Lawdar water well, Shabiba borehole, and two water tanks. These projects ensure the sustainable provision of water for 10 remote villages that have been underserved for decades, and the population had to suffer a lot to get water'. Ali Harbaji, director-general of Mudiyah, considered the project a significant development for the two beneficiary localities. 'For many years, these areas have been suffering from water scarcity and inadequate services infrastructure,' he commented. 'We appreciate the efforts of QRCS to support humanitarian and development projects and help rural communities live with dignity. This achievement has put an end to many years of suffering and addressed the needs of more than 3,000 people in five villages'. In a statement, Eng. Ahmed Hassan Al-Sharaji, head of QRCS's office in Yemen, revealed the volume of relief and development water-related interventions done since 2020: 'There are 352 surface water wells and 21 boreholes dug, rehabilitated, and operated, at a total cost of over $3.5 million (some QR13 million), as part of 10 projects implemented over the past five years'. He added, 'In coordination with the competent authorities, we managed to provide clean water for 370,581 people, mostly in remote, underserved, and desperate villages across 59 districts in 11 governorates, as follows: Taiz, Dhale, Al-Hudaydah, Raymah, Sa'dah, Al-Jawf, Ibb, Al-Mahwit, Hajjah, Lahij, and Abyan'. Al-Sharaji highlighted the importance attached to the water sector in QRCS's plans and programs, explaining, 'QRCS's interest in and response to such projects align with its humanitarian priorities, notably easing the water shortage, providing potable water, making it easier to get water, protecting children against falling into open water wells, and preventing the spread of waterborne diseases such as schistosomiasis and cholera'. 'One of the key challenges to the project was the difficult geographical features of several target districts. For example, in Jahaf, Dhale, QRCS's personnel crossed mountainous heights and extremely rugged terrain to construct concrete supports and lay 1,500-metre water supply networks to deliver water to mountainous villages,' he concluded. According to UN reports, Yemen is one of the world's poorest countries in terms of water resources, with more than half of the 30-million population lacking access to safe water, especially in rural areas and remote communities. To help alleviate the water crisis in Yemen, QRCS is launching a project to dig 10 new boreholes, equipped with solar-powered tanks and pumps, to meet the water needs of 35,000 people.
