Global Gateway Qatar launched
ictQATAR and British Council announce
the launch of Qatar's Global Gateway.
Dr Hessa Al Jaber, ictQATAR secretary general, and the British
ambassador Simon Collis officially launched the gateway at a
ceremony at the Four Seasons Hotel in Doha on Monday 29th
January.
Qatar joined the global gateway initiative in February 2006
as a strategic partner and has completed the development of Qatar's
webpage on the website.
Officials from ictQATAR said that the portal will play a
leading role in providing quality education in Qatar by enabling
teachers to share expirience and resources with their clleagues
around the world. Mohamed Al-Ansari, ictQATAR's e-education
manager, said 'This partnership is an essential step towards
difersifying learning opportunities in our schools.' Anthony
Jones, Director of British Council Qatar, weclomed Qatar's
membership by saying 'we are positive that Qatari students and
teachers will benefit immensely from sharing their expiriences and
traditions with their global peers'.
Training of teachers in Qatar was begun last May with a series
of workshops and more teachers will have the opportunity to join
workshops over the coming months.
