The Supreme Education Council (Arabic: المجلس الأعلى للتعليم, abbreviated SEC) is a Qatari government agency responsible for education in Qatar. It was established in November 2002. It is responsible for overseeing and directing the education system in Qatar and, subsequently, all of the country's independent schools.[1] At the time of its founding, it replaced the Ministry of Education, which has since had its responsibilities reduced to providing support for the country's private schools.[2] The Ministry of Education's personnel were consolidated into the SEC in 2009.[1]
