Government school staff allowances and bonuses during vacation periods reinstated in Qatar
The Council of Ministers issued Resolution No. 23 of 2025 amending certain provisions of the employment system for school employees. The resolution stipulates the abolition of Article 14 of the system issued by Resolution No. 32 of 2019, which excluded certain allowances and bonuses from the calculation of the total salary during vacation periods, with the exception of specific cases.
This resolution comes within the context of ensuring the preservation of the financial rights and job benefits of those working in the educational field, thus enhancing professional stability and motivating educational and administrative cadres to continue contributing and excelling in a supportive and balanced work environment.
The resolution took effect on 25 June 2025, and applies to all employees in government schools nationwide. It is implemented within a legal and regulatory framework that takes into account the aspirations of educational cadres and keeps pace with the needs of the modern education system.
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education affirms that this amendment is a positive step towards establishing a fair and attractive employment environment that promotes the concepts of motivation and sustainability, and contributes to enhancing the quality of education and raising the efficiency of performance in schools, in line with the aspirations of Qatar National Vision 2030.
