The event will be attended by ministry leaders, educational cadres, students, parents, and the public. This event is part of the ministry's efforts to create a stimulating educational environment that ensures an effective start to the new academic year.

In exclusive statements to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Director of the Public Relations and Communication Department at the Ministry Maryam Abdullah Al Mohannadi said that this year's event highlights the concept of well-being in education as one of the State of Qatar's strategic goals in education, promoting a safe and healthy start of the academic year. She explained that this concept involves providing a balanced environment that supports students' psychological, physical, and social aspects.

She pointed out that the Ministry is working to prepare students psychologically and mentally through student-focused programs and activities, while also equipping educational staff through workshops and training courses, in addition to completing the readiness of school buildings and providing necessary supplies and qualified cadres.

The event, she said, will also spotlight the role and status of teachers within the educational process, with graduates of the "Successful Start" and "Tamheen" programs being honored in recognition of their contributions to ensuring an exceptional school start. Al Mohannadi stressed that the event reflects the ministry's belief that education is a shared responsibility between the ministry and the community, aligning with the Third National Development Strategy and Qatar National Vision 2030.

She further pointed out that the event will offer a blend of educational and recreational activities, along with lectures and interactive workshops, and will provide school supplies under one roof-offering families and students a comprehensive experience that prepares them to enter the new academic year with enthusiasm and seriousness.
