The Ministry of Municipality, represented by Doha Municipality, in co-operation with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, has launched a competition for the best sustainable practices at school gardens.
The competition aims to encourage the students to adopt agriculture and take care for plants, in addition to enhancing environmental awareness among school students.
Accordingly, every participating school would allocate a part of the school garden to establish a mini garden model.
The competition is open to all the preparatory and secondary schools within Doha Municipality.
Each participating school should have a space of at least 30sq m allocated for agriculture.
The participating work team should include 10 students.
In addition, schools should not hire private companies to undertake such works related to the competition, except for the construction works and installing irrigation networks.
The duration of the competition is 75 days.
Application to the competition can be submitted through the related post of the Ministry of Municipality on the X platform, with only the first 30 schools submitting application accepted to take part.
The allocated prizes are QR10,000 for the first place, QR7,000 for the second, and QR5,000 for the third place.
There will be consolation prizes for five schools.
All the participants will receive appreciation certificates.
