Qatar’s Ministry of Education and Higher Education urges parents to establish early routines and organise preparations to facilitate a confident and stress-free return to school for students, alongside ongoing efforts to streamline admissions and promote early childhood development.
The Ministry of Education and Higher Education has urged parents to begin preparing children well before the new school year starts, saying early routines can help pupils return with greater confidence and enthusiasm. In a post shared ahead of the reopening of classes, the ministry said a gradual reset at home can make the transition back to school smoother and less stressful for children.
Its advice focused on simple practical steps, including adjusting bedtimes little by little, involving children in preparing school supplies, and speaking positively about school. The ministry also encouraged parents to listen carefully to children’s concerns and questions, while avoiding pressure and comparisons that can undermine confidence.
The guidance fits into a wider push by the ministry to make school transitions more organised for families. In recent months, it introduced an electronic service to help parents find schools, nurseries and educational centres, and it also issued registration and transfer instructions for the 2026-2027 academic year to simplify procedures and give schools more time to prepare. The ministry has said that early planning helps families make better choices and supports a calmer start to the year.
Officials have also highlighted the importance of routine and readiness beyond the first day of class. In previous announcements, the ministry published working hours for government schools and kindergartens, underscoring that student safety is a shared responsibility. It has separately promoted early childhood education, saying the first five years are critical for a child’s emotional, social and cognitive development, and that families play a central role in creating a supportive learning environment.
