Education: An instrument to women empowerment in the state of Qatar

Abstract

Any nation's most valuable resource is its people, and developing them is the most crucial work to be accomplished. Quality education must be disseminated among the masses to achieve the expected result. American higher education institutions have recently started offering world-class modern education in Qatar. Women in Qatar currently participate at an exponentially higher rate in higher education, the workforce, social leadership, entrepreneurship, and politics. In the fields of education whether it is engineering, medicine, technology, research, information and communication technology, humanities and social science, politics, and activism Qatari women amazed world observers by becoming pioneers and achievers. At individual as well as collective levels Qatari women achieved prestigious status and have equal contributions to making their country’s society and the economy as knowledge-based as their male counterparts have contributed. This paper represents the current status of Qatari women in terms of education, politics, culture, and their economic condition in particular and of Qatar state in general.
