In addition to foreign schools which serve particular expatriate communities including American, French, Indian, Japanese, Norwegian, Philipino and Pakistani, the Ministry of Education has recently undertaken measures to provide world class educational opportunities to Qatari nationals and foreigners. Some of these efforts are through the Supreme Education Council and the Education City.

The Education City: The Education City is a national initiative for the setting up of a community of educational institutions that serve educational needs of an individual from early childhood to completion of post-graduate study. It is envisioned as a hub for the generation of new knowledge. It provides researchers and trained graduates with state of the art research facilities and the opportunity to collaborate and snare knowledge and ideas.
