Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Endowments (Awqaf) and Islamic Affairs, represented by the Department of the Holy Quran and its Sciences within the Department of Da’wah and Religious Guidance, has launched an outstanding initiative about Parent Follow-up Day to bolster integration between the family and Quranic education centres and support the role of parents in the educational process of their children.

An Awqaf statement issued yesterday highlighted that the move is devoted to specifying Sunday of every month as the time for the attendance of parents to check on their sons inside the Quranic centers across the country.

Head of Awqaf’s Department of the Holy Quran and its Sciences, Fahad Ahmed Al Mohammed, stated that the initiative comes in implementation of the directives of Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs H E Ghanem bin Shaheen Al Ghanem to reinforce constructive cooperation between homes and centres, thereby contributing to achieving the intended pedagogical objectives.
