Teach
for Qatar
The Power of One,
the Potential of Many
Part of the global Teach For All network, Teach
For Qatar is a local non-governmental organisation
working to enhance the educational experience
of Qatar’s students.
Teach For Qatar plays an integral role in Qatar’s
development by educating, inspiring and equipping
Qatar’s future generations to shape the nation’s
growth and success.
While education is recognised as being of paramount
importance to Qatar’s future success, teaching is not
currently considered a top career choice and too
few of the best graduates go to work in the education
system. This is what Teach For Qatar is actively
seeking to address.
Teach For Qatar aims to help develop quality
education in Qatar by empowering young talent
to become transformational leaders in the classroom,
school and community.
It encourages exceptionally talented leaders to work
in the public school system through a two-year
teaching and development programme known
as the Leadership Journey.

The Leadership Journey also aims to promote the
importance of teaching in preparing future generations
for success, and its centrality in realising the Human
Development Pillar of QNV 2030.
By working with its local partner schools to identify
high-priority subjects, Teach For Qatar focuses on
recruiting and training Fellows to teach English,
Mathematics and Science at Grades 5 to 9. Arabic will
soon be added as an additional subject area.
