Qatar British Business Forum (QBBF) yesterday hosted meeting for educational leaders to discuss value of nurturing young ‘global citizens’ and developing school’s community roots in Qatar.
The session turned out as a productive platform for discussing topics of importance from curriculum, international accreditation, parental engagement, the importance of sport and academia, and developing community roots. It was attended by British Ambassador to Qatar Ajay Sharma. This meeting was hosted by QBBF committee member Hussein Damirji. The panel included local educational leaders. “I am pleased to see so much support for this Educational QBBF event. Education is key to building strong foundations for future generations. This is an area where UK has expertise and experience, and already enjoys a strong relationship with Qatar. I would like to see that relationship grow for the benefit of both of our countries,” said Ajay Sharma.
“The meeting’s focal topic is education, an area in which Qatar has invested billions of pounds in, an investment in the future of our children and the country we live in. Education is and will always be a critical component of the aspirations for Qatar National Vision 2030 and we hope to address what the English speaking schools are doing in order to support its success,” said Emad Turkman, QBBF Chairman and CEO of the Rumaillah Group.
“We hope this meeting will be the first of many series focusing on areas that are critical for the future of the expat community in Qatar and for Qatar itself. In addition to QBBF’s role in fostering joint economic relations between Britain and Qatar, we are also a platform for wider community engagement, as seen during the discussions at the summit,” said Hussein Damirji, QBBF committee member.
