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.[1] The first Japanese-language educational institute was opened in 1979, however, it closed in 2001 due to lack of students.[2] It was re-opened in April 2009 as the Japan School of Doha.[2]
The former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa, took 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 in 2006 in order 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.[3] 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.[1] Neither the Japanese Language Proficiency Test nor JETRO's Business Japanese Test were held in Qatar as of 2006.[4][5]
