Doha, Qatar: In a further attempt to attract Qatari citizens into the teaching profession, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) is providing academic advantages and big financial incentives under the “Tomouh” programme for this academic year, said a top official.

The Tomouh scholarship programme encourages holders of a high school diploma to join the teaching profession after graduation from the College of Education at Qatar University.

“The Tomouh programme has succeeded in graduating qualified teachers, enabling them to perform their jobs in a very professional way,” said Head of the Admissions and Registration Section at the Scholarship Department of MoEHE, Saleh Al Muftah, during an interview with Qatar TV recently.

According to him, this year is the best for Tomouh programme students in terms of providing academic privileges and financial incentives.

“Students get a monthly stipend during their study at the Tomouh programme and are offered jobs after completing the course,” said Al Muftah. “Students receive the biggest incentive this year since the launch of the programme. By joining the programme, a single student gets QR22,260 while those who are married receive QR25,200 per month as salary, and the years they spend in Education College will be counted in their service.”
