Overview and the Story of the Achievement

As part of our commitment to delivering integrated consultancy solutions that make a real difference in the educational landscape, RASSEDCO had the honour of working side by side with the board of directors and the owners of Etqan Global Academy during the project's critical founding stages.

Our pivotal role centred on providing strategic support through the collection, preparation and analysis of the precise data and information needed to build the economic and technical feasibility study, and on enabling the owners to anticipate market requirements and overcome procedural and regulatory obstacles. This contributed directly to bringing this vast and distinguished educational and architectural landmark into reality, in service of the rising generations in the State of Qatar.

The Introductory Ceremony and the Media and Ministerial Launch

Crowning the launch of this strategic project, Mr. Abed Saeed Baghazal (General Manager of RASSEDCO) personally took part in the Academy's introductory and opening ceremony at the owners' invitation. This landmark event drew wide-ranging official and media attention at the highest levels, and was distinguished by the presence of:

  1. Governmental and regulatory support

    The ceremony was honoured by the attendance of the Director of the Private Schools Licensing Department at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in the State of Qatar, reflecting the Academy's full commitment to national standards.

  2. Academic elite

    A distinguished group of academics and educational experts attended and enriched the discussion around the institution's educational vision.

  3. International media coverage

    The ceremony received extensive press and media coverage led by the major news channels, foremost among them Al Jazeera, documenting the launch of this entity.

  4. Community partnership

    The gathering saw a notable turnout of parents concerned with their children's educational future, alongside working sessions bringing together the owners, Sheikh Fahad bin Saud Al Thani, Dr. Tareq Al-Suwaidan and Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Awhali, to discuss the Academy's operational and future plans.
