fubar said The Qataris don't need education, they need incentives.Who would bother slugging it out to finish school and then uni for a job in the private sector when for almost zero effort they can get a reasonably well paying job as a clerk?

--you have somehow summarized the mentality of many Qataris youth in the past decade. Now the situation is relatively different for Qatari women. As many have chosen to continue their education & take on unique career path. This have created the sense of resentment among those who accepted entry level jobs. That’s why they stair issues like gender mixing in universities & government offices. The miserable , drawn on debts high school drop out who’s married to a successful graduate is just a reality check we face now here.

the solution can never be the cutoff incentives. But to stop the flood of qatarizing the Clerical jobs & encourage Qataris to continue their education.

Under QF umbrella, A community college will operate next fall to attract those who passed high school with low grades. I think this is a great initiative & I hope many take this chance. not only to enhance their careers . But also to continue their education
