Supreme Education Council (Qatar)

The Supreme Education Council (Arabic: المجلس الأعلى للتعليم, abbreviated SEC) is a Qatari government agency responsible for education in Qatar.

It is responsible for overseeing and directing the education system in Qatar and, subsequently, all of the country's independent schools.

[1] At the time of its founding, it replaced the Ministry of Education, which has since had its responsibilities reduced to providing support for the country's private schools.

[2] The Ministry of Education's personnel were consolidated into the SEC in 2009.

[3] The SEC is headed by Buthaina bint Ali Al Jabr Al Nuaimi, minister of education,[4] and Hind bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the deputy minister.
