Qatar Foundation's (QF) Pre-University Education (PUE) hosted the Qatari Educators Gathering, an annual event for national employees, highlighting the pivotal role of national talent in driving educational progress across QF's Pre-University Education ecosystem.
The event brought together 200 Qatari employees from across PUE, showcasing inspiring success stories and fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and ongoing development within QF's learning community.
During the gathering, Abeer Al Khalifa, president of QF's Pre-University Education, noted: 'This annual forum is more than just a traditional event. It's a moment to celebrate the initiatives and achievements we've built together, and the meaningful impact they continue to make.
'Through their spirit of teamwork and dedication, everyone has embodied the values of our Foundation and contributed to driving progress and delivering initiatives that we take great pride in today.'
Al Khalifa noted that this year's celebration, which coincides with the 30th anniversary of QF, marks an important milestone to reflect on the QF's pivotal role in advancing education, science, and community development both locally and globally, while continuing to look ahead with a vision that embraces challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation.
'At QF, we firmly believe that unlocking human potential lies at the heart of our mission. That's why we are committed to fostering a dynamic work environment that encourages creativity and innovation,' She added: 'Where every employee feels valued, empowered, and inspired to contribute ideas and initiatives that strengthen QF's impact.'
Al Khalifa emphasised that the knowledge and experience individuals gain is a valuable asset, one that extends beyond personal growth to contribute meaningfully to the nation and the wider community.
'Within Pre University Education, we believe that growth is a continuous journey, one that goes beyond traditional frameworks and evolves with every experience. Whether through mentoring and training programmes or personal and professional development initiatives, we are committed to fostering a supportive and empowering environment for our people.'
Al Khalifa concluded by highlighting the importance of the accomplishments achieved over the past year, expressing her appreciation to all team members for their commitment and creative spirit. She reiterated QF's continued dedication to providing the support and resources needed to further develop their skills and empower them to navigate change with confidence and competence.
The current academic year witnessed several achievements that reflect Pre-University Education's commitment to excellence in developing Qatari talent. Among the highlights was the participation of 50 Qatari leaders and staff members in an advanced training programme, delivered in collaboration with MCE and the University of Michigan, designed to strengthen their leadership skills and equip them to meet the demands of the future.
The forum also honoured a distinguished group of participants from the Qatar Leadership Centre programme, along with Pre-University Education scholarship recipients pursuing master's and bachelor's degrees and graduates of the Masar programme.
