Doha, Qatar: Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, H E Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani has honoured 60 distinguished male and female teachers who have devoted more than 25 years to the noble teaching profession.

The ceremony, organised by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education yesterday at its headquarters, marked World Teachers’ Day under the theme “Dedication That Nurtures Generations.”

This year’s celebration also introduced new categories recognising Qatari male teachers who have completed 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of service, in appreciation of their unwavering commitment and to encourage their continued professional growth.

Addressing the event, Minister of Education and Higher Education H E Lolwah bint Rashid bin Mohammed Al Khater said the Ministry is currently working through a specialised committee to assess the reality of teachers’ work environment and identify the challenges they face, to develop practical solutions that reduce administrative burdens and strengthen support systems.

She said that the ultimate goal is to provide teachers with a motivating professional environment that enables them to focus on their core mission — teaching, creativity, and giving.
