Providing an integrated educational environment that supports bilingual education, promotes national identity and Qatari culture, enables schools in Qatar to achieve a balance between international academic standards and national identity, and provides educational resources that enable teachers to connect the global curriculum to the local context, ensuring the graduation of students capable of competing globally while preserving their cultural identity.
The RASEKH Schools initiative aims to achieve global education with a local vision, and is based on six basic criteria:
Integrating the international curriculum with the local context, striking a balance between global and local, aims to make education more relevant to students' lives and cultures. The "Local Knowledge Bank," a RASEKH platform, is the primary resource for international teachers to connect lessons to the local context in a balanced manner.
The teaching of Islamic civilization from grades 6 to 9 promotes cultural identity and belonging, and gives students a deep understanding of Islamic heritage and its influence on science, art, and ethics.
It aims to maintain a balance between teaching subjects in Arabic and English. Implementing bilingualism in early childhood education and primary school is a strategic step toward strengthening children's cultural and linguistic identity, preparing them to appreciate their mother tongue while acquiring a foreign language.
Teaching Arabic as a foreign language in participating schools ensures that Arabic is offered as a foreign language to non-Qatari students, and as an elective subject to non-Arab students.
Encouraging students to apply Quranic values in their daily lives, following the example of our noble Prophet, whose morals were embodied in the Quran.
The "I Represent Qatar" program is an educational program that aims to strengthen national identity among school students by empowering them to represent their country in various fields, both locally and internationally. The program focuses on promoting national pride, representing national values, and cherishing national culture and heritage. This program develops students' leadership, communication, negotiation, and teamwork skills, while enhancing their understanding of their country's issues and its role in the world.
