Daam, Teach For Qatar sign financing deal to support Summer Institute 2024
THE Social and Sport Contribution Fund (Daam) has signed a financing agreement with Teach For Qatar to support the 2024 Summer Institute.
Under the agreement, Daam will provide funding to support the six-week Summer Institute training and activities, empowering participants to enter the education field as full-time teachers.
The agreement reflects the developmental role and sustainable impact played by both Daam and the joint stock companies listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange in supporting social activities in the country, in accordance with established plans and in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
This year’s Summer Institute involves a new batch of 120 Fellows and 60 Fellows from the 2023 Cohort.
They will receive exceptional training by experts in leadership and education, in addition to attending various workshops and individual support sessions.
The Summer Institute also includes training at Camp Qatar, where participants will practise teaching by implementing what they learned during the first couple of weeks.
Teach For Qatar is a local non-governmental organisation (NGO) founded by HE Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al Thani in 2014. Its mission is to work as part of the solution to help solve the challenges faced by Qatar’s students, by reinvesting exceptionally talented leaders into the government school system to create positive change in classrooms, schools and society.
To date, it has attracted 317 Fellows who have taught Arabic, English, mathematics and science to more than 40,800 students in the primary and preparatory stages.
Since its establishment in 2010, the Social and Sport Contribution Fund (Daam) has laid the groundwork for numerous vital projects and initiatives spanning the cultural, sports and social domains. The contributions from joint stock companies listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange are considered one of the most important financial resources of the Fund, making them a key partner in achieving community development.
