Driving schools in Qatar will soon have a new unified curriculum which is expected to be more scientific and rational.
A senior official of the General Directorate of Traffic has disclosed that the Directorate has prepared the curriculum which will be distributed to the driving schools “in the near future” after final approval.
Brig. Saqar Al Muraikhi, director of Traffic Licensing Department said that the new curriculum was prepared by experts in the field and will address all the drawbacks in the existing system.
Al Muraikhi was addressing a workshop held by the Directorate for driving school representatives on Thursday on the role of effective training in reducing accidents. He said the Traffic Department will send out its officers to all driving schools to explain to them details of the new curriculum and its objectives. He asked all driving schools to provide services of translators to new comers to familiarise them with traffic rules and regulations. Awareness about traffic rules can play an important role in reducing accidents.
During discussions that followed, representatives of the driving schools expressed their desire to raise the standards of training and gave their recommendations.
It was proposed that new comers who want to transfer their existing drivers’ licence to a Qatari one must be trained in the standards and requirements of the country they work and reside.
Capt Jabir Odhaiba, Head Traffic Information and Research Section; Ft Lt Abdullah Salih Al Heval, Licence Section Officer, and Lt Abdul Wahid Al Anazi, Traffic Awareness Officer, also attended the workshop.
The workshop aimed to review the training standards of driving schools and their compatibility with the traffic laws and regulations in the state. It also aimed to identify the level of trainers to develop their skill and abilities. The Peninsula
