Doha: The Supreme Education Council (SEC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Qatar Leadership Centre (QLC) to develop and strengthen capacity-building of the SEC’s leadership.
The MoU was signed by H E Dr Mohammed bin Abdul Wahed Al Hammadi, Minister of Education and Higher Education and Secretary General of the Supreme Education Council (SEC), and Sheikh Abdulla bin Ali Al Thani, Managing Director and member of the board of directors of QLC.
Under the agreement, QLC will organise a specialised leadership training programme to upgrade the skills of the Council’s officials to help them achieve the SEC’s objectives in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
“This MoU represents the SEC’s largest training plan since its launch, as the Council seeks to ensure that its employees receive the best training courses to promote their skills and improve their performance and career progression,” said Dr Al Hammadi. “This MoU is a practical result of the SEC’s calls to invest in education and training, as investing directly in human capital is one of the priorities of the SEC.”
“We are pleased that the first institutional program to be provided by QLC is dedicated to education, one of the most important sectors in the country, which is a key pillar in the empowerment and progress of nations as well as the cornerstone for any social, economic and political evolution and development,” noted Sheikh Abdulla.
“This MoU represents the beginning of joint, strategic cooperation with the SEC, one of the most important and prominent government institutions in the country.”
Sheikh Abdulla added that since its inception in 2008, QLC had been promoting and developing the capacities of national leaders to support Qatar’s vision in all fields through partnerships with international academic institutions that specialise in training and leadership development.
This MoU is the first of its kind between the SEC and QLC.
The SEC is the first government entity to sign an institutional agreement with QLC.
