I would have preferred if Qatar invested in establishing a solid educational foundation first, including Qatar University's, to pave the way for the EC, in terms of curricula, raising the students standards (QCEA currently shows that more the 60% of the students are below standards- Level 3), hiring qualified teachers…etc.
Now that the die is cast, I'd consider the EC a good initiative in the sense that it will:
1- Encourage students to work harder to enroll.
2- Bring the HUGE gap in the students' performance to officials' attention.
3- Provide a better chance for many Qataris who were restricted to travel abroad for education.
