Doha: The newly opened high-tech centre of Traffic Department for monitoring driving schools will help address the complaints of learners before being reported, said a senior official.
'Ten traffic officials will keep an eye on nine driving schools operating in the country through advanced monitoring system from Monitoring Center at the headquarters of the Traffic Department in Madinat Khalifa, said Captain Khalid Abdul Aziz Al Ghanim, Supervisor General of Driving Schools at the General Directorate of Traffic.
Speaking to The Peninsula at a recent event, Al Ghanim said that one official will cover one school at a time and he will check the database to find whether the learners underwent the required training classes and tests.
'In case of receiving any complaint from learners against a school, we can access the system where all details of the learners will be available including training classes and tests, said Al Ghanim.
'We had received complaints from parents and sponsors against schools about training and classes. Now the new system is very transparent and will ensure the rights of learners, said Al Ghanim.
Speaking about the efficiency of the new system, Al Ghanam said that 10 officials are enough to cover all nine schools because the system is very efficient and easy to handle.
Captain Khalid Abdul Aziz Al Ghanim (pictured), said that about 300 learners undergo tests in a day in all driving schools which provide training to 500 students in an hour. 'The Monitoring Center will help find out the defects in the operation of driving schools to ensure the learners get proper training in a bid to produce skilled drivers to avoid road accidents as much as possible, said Al Ghanim.
With the launch of unified Driving Training System (DTS) under which Monitoring Center and Smart Driving Cars were recently unveiled, Al Ghanim said that Traffic Department comes to know every single details about the learning from registration to the school till issuance of the driving licence.
'Now we know all training stages of learners including theoretical training which is about traffic signals then practical training, said Al Ghanim. He said that in the old system the theoretical training was based on lectures which were difficult for many learners due to language differences. However, the new system provides theoretical training in 18 languages through a dedicated electronic program on smart devices.
