Financing Higher Education for the Global Common Good FINANCING HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE GLOBAL COMMON GOOD 1 i9 presentation to Joe Smith INTRODUCTION The State of Qatar Qatar University (QU) is Qatar’s Most prominent and sole national institution of higher education QU is a beacon of academic and research excellence! QU Provides the widest range of educational programs and degrees in Qatar 1 State of Qatar initiatives in Financing Education for the Global Common Good Reach Out To Asia (ROTA) • The idea for an initiative, which would reach out to the Asian continent to provide those in need with quality education was conceived by Emir of the State of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in November, 2005 • ROTA has joined the global effort (granted special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Committee ECOSOC since 2009) to achieve basic, quality education for both primary and secondary school children throughout Asia and the Middle East • In each of the 14 chosen countries, building or adopting schools; promoting female education; initiating academic fellowships; coordinating student exchange programs; providing teacher and vocational training; and connecting participating countries through a shared Knowledge Network. Educate a Child Initiative • Launched in November 2012, by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser of Qatar, Educate A Child (EAC) is a global program of the Education Above All Foundation (EAA) that aims to significantly reduce the number of children worldwide who are denied their right to education. • Contributes to the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 4: to ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning. • Influenced the enrolment and retention of at least 10 million out of school children (OOSC) – April 2018 • Aims to mobilize US$1 billion to support education and develop innovative financing mechanisms to foster program sustainability • Keep the issue of out of school children at the top of global and national agendas. Qatar Foundation Education City • Six top American universities, one British university and one French university have branch campuses at Education City. • Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), a state-of-the-art facility comprising 45,000 square meters of office and laboratory space. QSTP aims to fuel Qatar’s knowledge economy by encouraging companies from around the world to develop and commercialize their technology in Qatar, and by helping entrepreneurs to launch start-up technology businesses State of Qatar initiatives in Financing Education for the Local Common Good Qatar National Vision 2030 Qatar National Research Fund • The Qatar National Research Fund, established in 2006, had a clearly defined vision: “To enable research and development excellence in Qatar in order to achieve a knowledge-based economy”. • This encouraged international collaboration, and could be said to be the main reason why Qatar University tops the list of the most international universities. • Qatar is the only GCC country appearing in the top 10. It is also the first time a Middle Eastern institution has topped this list. What is the impact on QU? • Qatar University has, in the last five years, been one of the fastest growing institutions for research in the region. Our researchers’ publications have increased by approximately 246 per cent in this period. • The university has undertaken more than 450 research projects with 319 collaborators in the past years. The ever-increasing research efforts have resulted in 3,200 co-authored publications from 1,093 collaborating institutes. • The presence of the branch campuses in town not only enhanced research output and collaboration at QU but also enriched the higher education scene in the country with health competition and collaboration between students and faculty • Enrolments in higher Ed have more than doubled in a decade – from 100 million in 2000, to 214 million in 2015 we nearly tripled • Worldwide about one-third of all higher education students are enrolled in private institutions in Qatar, 95% are at the national university. 2015 2016 HOSTS NINE COLLEGES 19,000+ Students at the undergraduate and Education Sharia, Law Engineering Business & graduate level & Islamic Economics 93 Studies 7,660 Female Students : Male and Female Students Humanities Science & Social Sciences 57 18:1 Male Students Student-faculty ratio ByInIn In 1985,1973,itsCollege Today!1977, firstBy tworecognizing year,Fall QUQU of additional Pharmacy was2005/06, Qatar’shoststhe foundedcollege the9 firstcolleges.colleges the importancewas admittednational numberwith launched --Itfour Engineering,offer college of57of colleges male educationmaleswidesthaving ofand --Medicineand rangebeen and Education,female to 93 Businessthe reformedof female academiccountry’swasregistrants Humanities launched students. andfrom expanding programsEconomics forthe study After Pharmacyand Socialwithseveralsociety,at -- were semesters,the45 Emir theSciences,Bachelors rapidof Qatar development Sharia,, 25issued Masters Law aQU decree ofand ,reachedProgram added4the DiplomasIslamic countryproclaiming 7,660 Studies made, Doctor the andit necessaryestablishment of Science.

  • TAPPING the POTENTIAL of YOUTH Hope That All Those Who Attended Benefited from the Opportunity to Practise the Knowledge They Acquired During the Conference
    THE REACH OUT TO ASIA QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER, ISSUE 7, JUNE 2016 EMPOWERING YOUTH GLOBALLY OTA has always placed great importance on youth – be it the empowerment of R Qatari youngsters, or those in distant regions. ROTA’s aim is to reach out to youth in disadvantaged communities around the world, and provide them with academic support, technological assistance, and skills for self- employment. ROTA has been collaborating with several like- minded sponsors and partners to achieve these goals. Our Yemen initiative, a joint effort with CARE International and Silatech, is improving economic opportunities for hundreds of youth. Our collaboration with Mercy Corps in the West Bank in a project called Supporting Palestinian Education and Employment Development will increase job opportunities for Palestinian youth. In Tunisia, we work with Islamic Relief-Tunisia to improve the quality of education through capacity building of schools and libraries. Primary and vocational schools are also being built in Cambodia, thanks to our collaboration with the Monithapana Foundation. ROTA’s work doesn’t stop there. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide underprivileged youth in Asia with education, a group of Qatar University students was recently sent to Indonesia to help expand the skills of local students there. An initiative in Nepal, called Not Your Average Spring Break, saw university students visit western Nepal to provide opportunities through workshops. Trips like these are also beneficial to ROTA volunteers who develop their own life skills through volunteering. ROTA’s Youth Service Clubs are also aiding the development of leadership skills and an understanding of international and community building issues.

  • Thousands of Families Descend Upon Education City for Superb Night of Qatar Foundation Garangao Celebrations
    THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES DESCEND UPON EDUCATION CITY FOR SUPERB NIGHT OF QATAR FOUNDATION GARANGAO CELEBRATIONS Qatar Foundation Showcases Best Of Qatari Culture At Its 2015 Garangao Night Festival Doha, Qatar, 30 June 2015: Around 4,000 members of the local community were transported back in time by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), during its annual Garangao night festivities held on Monday evening at the Al Shaqab Equestrian Centre in Doha. During a fun-filled evening that celebrated youth and the richness of Qatari culture, hundreds of families delighted in a wide range of free community activities – including traditional Arabic games for children, arts and crafts, pony rides and unique storytelling sessions. Deeply rooted in Gulf culture, Garangao is an annual festival that takes place during the Holy Month of Ramadan. It first began as a daytime festival within tribal communities as both a reward and a distraction for children during fasting hours. In more recent years, however, it has evolved into a night-time event, where children are provided with sweets, gifts and the chance to participate in team games and other much-loved pastimes. As part of its commitment to preserving the nation’s heritage, QF looks to uphold such traditions by providing a year-round calendar of cultural activities for the whole community to enjoy. Through hosting such events, the organisation hopes to showcase the best of the nation’s culture and traditions to both local and expatriate families The latest event provided an invaluable opportunity for all of QF’s various entities to work in tandem, share ideas and together, deliver a truly memorable night of celebrations that the organisation can be proud of.
