Inside This Issue insideMay 2016 this / Vol. 42 / Issue issue 05 COVER STORY 36 MAPPING EDUCATION MILESTONES Like every developing country, Qatar too has its challenges in charting out educational reform. While there have been many positive outcomes, what the country clearly lacks is a culture of learning. 16 MILITARY MIGHT At a time when economic strategies have gone on the defensive, Qatar does not want weaker hydrocarbons to undermine its national and regional security. 22 THE CASE FOR $50 OIL A change of heart in the market brought hopes of oil rising to at least $50 a barrel by the end of the year. But the optimism is already starting to dwindle in the face of market realities. 50 LIVING ON THE MARGINS Under current circumstances, some uncomfortable yet necessary conversations are taking place across the country, in boardrooms and Majlises. At Qatar Today, we wanted to rekindle discourse on one such topic – migration and the Qatari identity. insideMay 2016 / thisVol. 42 / Issue issue 05 SPOTLIGHT 72 BIG BUY High levels of disposable income combined with a thriving economy, a young population and a maturing consumer base, have given Qatar’s retail segment jet propellers. 56 WHAT’S BLOCKING OUT THE SUN? 30 DATA IN THE PIPELINE Although renewables are becoming a relevant alternative for The GCC petrochemicals sector must leverage Big Data meeting the future energy challenges of the Gulf countries, technologies to ease the impact of low oil prices brought on by deeper analysis shows that the sector is still slow on the uptake. economic downturn. 60 GET THEM ON YOUR SIDE 32 PROPPING UP How far can understanding spectator behaviour go in determining the success of something as big as the 2022 FIFA World Cup?

Oil ministers from 16 nations, representing about half the world’s output, gathered in a bid to stabilise the global market, the first significant attempt in 15 years at coordinating oil output between OPEC and nations outside the group. And the Doha deal was a no-deal. But the oil prices have rebounded and analysts have said that sentiment had clearly turned bullish, and that further price rises were likely. Falling output in the United States and a weak dollar were supporting prices and attracting investors. Locally, Qatar fuel prices are going to be linked to the global markets. This is a new austerity move taken by the country though there will not be immediate effects on the price for the consumer. Head of the committee in charge for studying fuel prices in the domestic market Sheikh Mishaal bin Jabor Al Thani said that the decision to restructure fuel prices and adjust them on a monthly basis is aimed mainly at raising the efficiency of energy use in the state and increasing consumer awareness on the need to rationalise fuel consumption, especially after the economic and environmental impacts resulting from differences between the prices in the domestic market and global markets. The decision is also in line with practices followed in many countries of the world. Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Ali Al Naimi arrives for Al Thani stressed that the restructuring of fuel prices in the state and adjusting them the OPEC meeting in Doha on April 17. Top on a monthly basis does not necessarily mean a rise in prices, but rather that the prices energy officials from some 15 countries including Russia were at the Doha talks will be linked to the actual prices of these commodities whether up or down according where a draft agreement was reportedly to world prices. This, in short, means that the price of fuel will now be directly linked to ready to be signed which would freeze output at January levels until at least the commodity price, with the buffer that the government was earlier giving the citizens October. No such deal resulted. through a subsidy being removed. AFP / KARIM JAAFAR Austerity moves are inevitable when the economy is facing challenges. But what about the effect some austerity moves like layoffs have on the migrant population who face the brunt of most of such actions? For that matter, experts stress that the economy simply cannot continue to operate sustainably and efficiently on such a large borrowed workforce. The country’s unique population mix, where migrants constitute a larger proportion than locals, poses a unique precedent to sociologists who have been grappling with this issue for years. Qatar Today talks to these experts to find out what is the future of the Qatari identity. One sector that should not be affected by austerity moves is education. Qatar has indeed been steadfast in its resolution to provide high-quality education through systematic approaches, but are these steps taken by the Ministry enough to change the culture of a population that is not used to working hard enough to attain its ambitions? Read through our May issue for answers to some of these questions...

The 13th summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul, held under the theme ‘Unity and Solidarity for Justice and Peace’, stressed the importance of unity and solidarity of the OIC member countries in solving the challenges faced by the Islamic world. While the countries agreed to establish a Turkey-based body to fight terrorism, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan urged leaders to examine the root causes of the migration crisis. Meanwhile, closer to home, GCC leaders met with President Obama to thresh out the “Iran issue”. According to the GCC spokesperson, the main issue on the summit’s agenda was the Iranian interventions in regional politics. The US recently expressed concerns about the persistent GCC-Iran rivalry. Also high on the agenda, according to a White House official, was the fight against ISIL and other defence issues.
