Doha, Qatar: Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, attended an Expert Consultation Workshop, introducing the WISE Education Index – a framework designed to rethink how the effectiveness of the world’s education systems is assessed – at the WISE 12 Summit.

The Index, developed by Qatar Foundation’s global education initiative WISE, was presented at WISE 12, the latest edition of WISE’s global biennial summit, where leading researchers, economists, and policymakers convened to review and discuss the framework ahead of its pilot phase.

The workshop was attended by Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani, Vice Chairperson of Qatar Foundation, and saw the participation of Her Excellency Lolwah bint Rashid bin Mohammed Al Khater, Minister of Education and Higher Education.

The Index addresses a critical gap: while education systems across the world are adapting to rapidly shifting demographics, technological change, and economic transformation, the many current global indicators that measure access, literacy, employability, and national performance fail to capture the full continuum of education – from the conditions that shape early learning to long-term processes that influence wellbeing, workforce readiness, and lifelong learning.
