The Ministry of Education and Higher Education announced the launch of summer centres this year, starting from July 9, in 7 different educational and sports facilities nationwide. The centres last for 4 weeks and aim to positively invest students' time during the summer vacation, enhance their experiences and skills, and refine their personalities.

The Ministry targets public school students, boys and girls, and Qatari students from private schools. Each centre receives 400 students for 4 hours a day between 9 am and 1 pm, divided into three categories: children (7-11 years), adolescents (12-14 years), and youth (15-18 years). Each centre is equipped with trained administrative and educational staff and detailed regulations that clarify their tasks and responsibilities to manage and operate the centres with high efficiency throughout their work period until August 3.
