There are three different authorities of
education in Qatar, the supreme education council, ministry of education and
the Qatar foundation for education. There are a large number of public and
private schools in Qatar. The public schools are Arabic schools with no fees
and the private schools are British or American schools with fees. Most of the
students that are in public schools learn English as their second language and
French or Spanish as their third language. In other hands, in Arabic schools they
only learn English without any third language. Mostly, in Arabic schools the
grades are submitted as a percentage at the end of the year. It’s the same as
the American system, but, in the British system in Qatar you need to finish
your IGCSE’s with 5 subjects grade C and above and 2 AS Level over the grade C.
Sometimes A level and IB (international baccalaureate) is required in some
universities. There are three levels of education system. The first level
starts from year 1 until year 6 and we call this Primary stage. The second
level of education starts after the primary stage from year 7 until year 9, it
is called preparatory stage. Lastly, the third level is from year 10 until 12
and it’s called the secondary stage.
The education in the UK is likely the same
as the education in Qatar (the British system only). Many different governments
direct it. The UK government is responsible for the education in England. The
Scottish government, Welsh government and the Northern Ireland government is
responsible for the education in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The
system of education is divided into four parts. The nursery stage from ages
3-4, the primary education stage from ages 4-11, the secondary education stage
from ages 11-18 and the tertiary education stage from ages 18 and above. In high
school GCSE’s, AS Level, and A Level or IB (international Baccalaureate) are
required, without these certificates you won’t be able to enter university. The
main subjects that they teach in schools are English, mathematics and science. In
addition, the UK also has public and private schools. Mostly, the private
schools are for rich people and people from a high class.
