Doha: The Ministry of Education and Higher Education, represented by the Academic and Professional Counselling Department at the Educational Guidance Department issued the Student Guide, preparing students for the university stage and the labour market for the academic year 2020/2021.
The Student Guide aims to educate students and parents about the various opportunities available to students after high school, and to make them aware of the importance of early readiness for admission to various local and overseas universities and colleges, as well as the importance of standardized tests for undergraduate admissions.
It guides students to choose the right major, as it contains a set of steps and directions that help students in this regard. It also includes an overview of the various universities and colleges within the country and their disciplines, in addition to admission requirements for each university or college separately.
It also includes electronic links for international standard tests, which form an important part in the student's documents for university admission, whether in local or foreign universities and colleges, as these tests predict students' readiness to join the university, such as IELTS or TOEFL which test students' English proficiency, SAT or ACT that test students' skills in mathematics, science and critical reading.
According to the Student Guide, students need to complete these tests before the 12th grade, as they will be required to start applying to various universities.
The guide also includes advices for 10th grade students in choosing their educational path that suits their desires, abilities and future aspirations, and the role of parents in helping and shaping their children's orientations towards choosing the educational and university path through a set of steps.
The last section of the guide includes the government scholarship program, which aims to provide specialized Qatari human cadres that meet the needs of the labor market, as the Ministry of Education and Higher Education undertakes the tasks to provide guidance and scholarships for students, while the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor and Social Affairs prepares the general policy for scholarships and coordinates with government entities to prepare their scholarship programs according to their needs.
In addition, it touched on scholarships granted to international students, which are a form of financial support to help students continue university studies, offered by various universities around the world to international students.
As for students wishing to join the military sector, this is done through the Unified Standing Committee for the Selection of Candidates for Military Officers.
The Student Guide also includes some important websites such as those that contain an introduction to the various disciplines and professions and jobs that fall under them, websites for registration in various foreign universities, and websites for international tests, as well as search engines for various universities and colleges around the world.
