Qatar
Qatar places significant emphasis on Early Childhood Education (ECE) as part of its comprehensive educational reforms. The country aims to provide high-quality preschool education to ensure school readiness and enhance future learning outcomes. Government initiatives focus on developing curricula that promote critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, aligning with Qatar’s vision for a knowledge-based economy. Investments in infrastructure and teacher training have been substantial; however, challenges remain in ensuring equitable access across all segments of the population, particularly expatriate communities. Efforts are ongoing to address these disparities through monitoring, evaluation, and targeted policy adjustments to ensure inclusivity in ECE programs.
