we, the undersigned parents, students, and concerned residents of qatar, urge the ministry of education and relevant authorities to immediately suspend in-person schooling due to the current safety concerns.

with rising regional tensions and shelter-in-place alerts, it is not safe or reasonable to expect students and staff to continue attending physical classes. the risk to life and mental well-being is far greater than any academic loss.

we request:

temporary closure of all schools and educational institutions

a shift to online learning or alternate methods until the situation is stable

transparent updates regarding safety measures from the government


education is important, but safety is urgent. no student should have to choose between school and survival. we respectfully ask the authorities to take immediate actions.
