Qatar’s Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has boosted efforts to promote Islamic identity in schools nationwide. In partnership with the Ministry of Education, it organized more than 1,600 educational activities last academic year.
These programs aimed to develop moral values and encourage positive behavior among students. They included lectures, competitions, campaigns, and discussions across all school levels.
Most activities were led by the Da’wah and Religious Guidance Department, along with the Sheikh Abdullah bin Zaid Al Mahmoud Islamic Cultural Centre. These departments worked directly with both public and private schools.
To support students’ development, they focused on ethics, discipline, and social responsibility. Teachers and parents were also involved to reinforce these values at home and in classrooms.
As part of the initiative, the Islamic Cultural Centre launched a campaign titled “Values and Behaviour” last October. It reached over 2,300 students in 13 schools through lectures and interactive discussions.
Key topics included respect, honesty, responsibility, and resisting peer pressure. These values help students shape a strong character grounded in cultural and religious principles.
Incentives like awards and public recognition encouraged student participation. These tools helped maintain engagement and motivation throughout the year.
Additionally, the programs fostered a sense of purpose and belonging among students. They also provided a platform to understand and apply Islamic identity in daily life.
By integrating these lessons into the school experience, the Ministry ensures lasting moral and social impact. The programs align with Qatar’s vision to build an educated, values-driven generation.
The Ministry remains committed to advancing student well-being through value-based education. It will continue collaborating with schools to expand these initiatives in the coming years.
This nationwide strategy not only educates minds but also shapes character, helping young people grow with a strong sense of Islamic identity.
