    The Supreme Education Council and The Ministry Of Education control the education in Qatar. There are two types of schools in Qatar, public schools and private schools. The public schools are free for everybody. It is usually an Arabic school and by the end of each course and year you get a percentage on your exams. However, the private schools cost some fees so it’s not free. There are two kinds of public schools; there is the American school and the British school. The American school system is kindly the same as the Arabic school system; at the end of each year you get a percentage. However, the British system schools are much more different. You need to do the IGCSE, AS level and A level or International Baccalaureate (IB) to finish high school education and get into university. The education system in Qatar is divided into three parts, the first part is primary education it’s a 6-year education it starts from year 1 and finishes at year 6.
