The quality of education system in Qatar remains high and at par with developed nations, researcher Alpen Capital has said in a report. In 2020, Qatar allocated 10.5% of the total budget towards education, much higher than the 9.3% earmarked in 2019, Alpen Capital said in its latest report on the 'GCC Education Industry'. According to the Global Competitiveness Index 2019, Qatar improved its ranking across parameters such as critical thinking in teaching, quality of vocational training, digital skills among the active population, and skillset of graduates. However, Qatar’s ranking on the pupil-to-teacher ratio in primary education declined during the year, Alpen Capital noted.
