The Peninsula The Education Above All (EAA) Foundation’s Second Assalam School, established in partnership with Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MoEHE) has made a successful transition from the academic year 2019-20 to 2020-21, during the fiscal year 2020, with 602 children enrolled. Established under EAA’s Together Project in partnership with MOEHE, and funded by Qatar Charity (QC) and Afif Charity, the Second Assalam School provides tuition-free schooling to Arabic-speaking children that were previously not enrolled in school. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, the school promptly adopted alternative measures to ensure all students had continued access to education. Talal Al Hothal, Director of EAA’s Al Fakhoora programme, said: “With our partners and donors, EAA proudly reflects on the achievements of the Second Assalam School and its ability to uphold the fundamental right to education for every child. Despite the unpredictable challenges to the education sector caused by COVID-19, EAA was able to work together with the Second Assalam School to ensure that students could continue their learning. We look forward to the school’s ongoing development in the coming years as it carries on providing quality education for children and adolescents in Qatar.”
