Doha, Qatar: Educators, students, families, and institutions have come together at Qatar Foundation's International Day of Education celebrations to reaffirm the shared role of society in shaping inclusive and future-ready education.

Held at Barahat Msheireb under the theme 'Education is Everyone's Responsibility', the two-day event outlined the evolution of education at Qatar Foundation (QF) and the vision that has shaped its development; and highlighted the role of QF's Rasekh initiative as Qatar's bilingual, identity-based education model and a cornerstone of national education reform. Rasekh is designed to strengthen cultural and linguistic foundations while engaging with global learning.

The International Day of Education celebrations reflect QF's continued commitment to engaging the wider community and advancing the future of education. Observed annually on 24 January, the day highlights how education is a basic human right and a shared responsibility, encouraging collective efforts to enhance its quality.

The Vice President of Strategic Educational Initiatives for QF's Pre-University Education, Sheikha Noof Ahmed bin Saif Al-Thani said: "The International Day of Education is a global occasion to renew our commitment to the right to education as a cornerstone of human and social development, and a shared responsibility that requires coordinated efforts between educational institutions and the wider community.

"Through marking this day, QF reaffirms the role of education in shaping individuals, strengthening values, and equipping future generations to navigate a rapidly changing world with confidence, awareness, and deeply rooted knowledge."
