Japanese language education in Qatar

Japanese language education in Qatar

Japanese language education in Qatar is not very widespread. A 2006 survey by the Japan Foundation found only 2 institutions in Qatar teaching the language, with 3 teachers and 187 students.cite paper|title=2006年海外日本語教育機関調査結果: カタール (Results of the 2006 survey of overseas Japanese language educational institutions: Qatar)|language=Japanese|publisher=Japan Foundation|date=2006|accessdate=2008-01-13|url=http://www.jpf.go.jp/j/japan_j/oversea/kunibetsu/2006/qatar.html] However, the Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa, has taken a personal interest in seeing Japanese language teaching in his country expanded; as a result, the chairman of Qatar Telecom, began working with the Japanese embassy to get a native teacher supplied to the Al Bayan Educational Complex for Girls in Al Dafna. 41 secondary students, 48 preparatory students, and 75 primary students enrolled in the course. [cite news|work=Gulf Times|title=Japanese school for Qatar children|date=2006-12-27|accessdate=2008-01-13|url=http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=124719&version=1&template_id=36&parent_id=16] Qatar's Ministry of Education also runs a language school which offers instruction in Japanese; it enrolled 20 students. No university offered the language as of 2006. Neither the Japanese Language Proficiency Test nor JETRO's Business Japanese Test were held in Qatar as of 2006.cite web|title=Japanese Language Proficiency Test 2006: Summary of the Results|url=http://www.jees.or.jp/jlpt/pdf/result_2006_pri.pdf|publisher=Japan Educational Exchanges and Services, The Japan Foundation|date=2006|accessdate=2007-08-22|format=PDF] cite web|url=http://www.jetro.go.jp/en/bjt/data/jlrt/pdf/res13report_en.pdf|format=PDF |title=13th JLRT (2006): A Summary Report|publisher=Japan External Trade Organization|date=2006|accessdate=2006-12-01]
