It was originally called Wizarat al Maarif. An Egyptian system of education and curriculum was adopted during its early years, with textbooks imported from Egypt and other Arab countries. During this period, the ministry put into place the three levels of education that have existed ever since: primary (grades one to six), preparatory (grades seven to nine), and secondary (grades 10 to 12). Secondary education in Qatar began in 1956, when a small primary school in Doha was extended to include three classrooms, accommodating 49 male students. Five years later, formal preparatory education for girls was introduced, when the ministry opened a class in a primary school for girls and 12 females enrolled into intermediate education.
