In 2017, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry offered 11 plots of land across Qatar to private sector investors to develop and operate new private schools. The aim was to provide high-quality education by improving infrastructure to enhance the quality of education and training. The 11 plots of land are located in different areas: Umm Qarn, Rawdat Al Hamamah, Al Wukair (four), Luaib, Al Thamid (two), Al Khor (two) and Simaisma. Each piece of land covers an area of 15,000 square metres.
In the 2018-19 academic year, at least 13 new private schools have opened for accommodating 6,021 students.
