The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has opened five new preparatory and secondary schools for boys and girls in different parts of the country in order to provide the best possible educational experience for students and to achieve Qatar's development goals and National Vision 2030.
The new schools will start receiving students for the new academic year 2022-2023. Each school will accommodate 786 students, among them 36 with special needs who will be distributed to 6 classes, whereas the remaining 750 students will be accommodated in 30 classrooms.
