Qatar Foundation's (QF) Pre-University Education (PUE) hosted the Qatari Educators Gathering, an annual event for national employees, highlighting the pivotal role of national talent in driving educational progress across QF's Pre-University Education ecosystem.
The event brought together 200 Qatari employees from across PUE, showcasing inspiring success stories and fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and ongoing development within QF's learning community.
During the gathering, Abeer Al Khalifa, president of QF's Pre-University Education, noted: 'This annual forum is more than just a traditional event. It's a moment to celebrate the initiatives and achievements we've built together, and the meaningful impact they continue to make.
'Through their spirit of teamwork and dedication, everyone has embodied the values of our Foundation and contributed to driving progress and delivering initiatives that we take great pride in today.'
Al Khalifa noted that this year's celebration, which coincides with the 30th anniversary of QF, marks an important milestone to reflect on the QF's pivotal role in advancing education, science, and community development both locally and globally, while continuing to look ahead with a vision that embraces challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation.
'At QF, we firmly believe that unlocking human potential lies at the heart of our mission. That's why we are committed to fostering a dynamic work environment that encourages creativity and innovation,' She added: 'Where every employee feels valued, empowered, and inspired to contribute ideas and initiatives that strengthen QF's impact.'
Al Khalifa emphasised that the knowledge and experience individuals gain is a valuable asset, one that extends beyond personal growth to contribute meaningfully to the nation and the wider community.
'Within Pre University Education, we believe that growth is a continuous journey, one that goes beyond traditional frameworks and evolves with every experience. Whether through mentoring and training programmes or personal and professional development initiatives, we are committed to fostering a supportive and empowering environment for our people.'
Al Khalifa concluded by highlighting the importance of the accomplishments achieved over the past year, expressing her appreciation to all team members for their commitment and creative spirit. She reiterated QF's continued dedication to providing the support and resources needed to further develop their skills and empower them to navigate change with confidence and competence.
The current academic year witnessed several achievements that reflect Pre-University Education's commitment to excellence in developing Qatari talent. Among the highlights was the participation of 50 Qatari leaders and staff members in an advanced training programme, delivered in collaboration with MCE and the University of Michigan, designed to strengthen their leadership skills and equip them to meet the demands of the future.
The forum also honoured a distinguished group of participants from the Qatar Leadership Centre programme, along with Pre-University Education scholarship recipients pursuing master's and bachelor's degrees and graduates of the Masar programme.

Arab, int'l media praise Qatar's success in mediating DRC-Congo River Alliance declaration of principles
Doha The signing of the Declaration of Principles between the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the Congo River Alliance/March 23 Movement in Qatar yesterday received Arab and international media attention. Media coverage consistently highlighted Qatar's important position as a trusted mediator in resolving complex disputes through peaceful means. A report by Egypt's Nile News TV stated that Qatar's success in brokering a peace agreement between the conflicting parties in the DRC following three months of talks in Doha serves as a turning point in the path toward establishing peace in this African country. Nile News' report noted that earlier this month, the March 23 Movement had called for holding a new round of negotiations to go over the unresolved issues that were not covered in the peace agreement signed by Rwanda and the DRC in Washington last month, adding that the Declaration of Principles includes a commitment to soon launch security negotiations toward a comprehensive peace agreement. The US-based DRM Radio also reported on the Qatari-mediated signing and referred to the press conference by Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs HE Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz bin Saleh Al Khulaifi to discuss the agreement's implications for regional stability. France's TV5Monde said that the peace process in the DRC has entered an important phase with the signing of the Declaration of Principles in Doha, where Qatar is playing a successful mediating role in ending the conflict between both parties. Furthermore, during a TV5Monde news bulletin, French journalist Romain Gras said the agreement carries a symbolic weight that should not be underestimated, adding that it was unimaginable for a representative of the DRC government and a delegation from the rebel movement to meet face to face just weeks ago. Meanwhile, a news report on India's WION TV highlighted that the DRC and the Congo River Alliance/M23 Movement had reached an agreement for an immediate ceasefire following two months of talks in Doha, which built on an earlier agreement signed between the DRC and Rwanda in Washington last month. WION also noted that the African Union welcomed the Declaration of Principles, deeming it a significant step toward achieving lasting peace and praised Qatar's role in promoting peace. Meanwhile, France 24 said that after months of negotiations in the Qatari capital, the DRC government and the Congo River Alliance/March 23 Movement were able to agree on a Declaration of Principles. For its part, Turkiye's TRT World highlighted the success of Qatari mediation after months of talks, adding that DRC government and Congo River Alliance/March 23 Movement representatives signed a Declaration of Principles to establish peace.
