Doha, Qatar: Qatar Foundation (QF) marked the International Day of Education with a two-day community celebration highlighting immersive learning, educational innovation, and global dialogue on multilingualism, with a strong focus on the Arabic language and cultural identity.

The event spotlighted QF’s Rasekh initiative as Qatar’s bilingual, identity-based education model and a key pillar of national education reform, aimed at strengthening cultural and linguistic foundations while engaging with global learning.
