______________We kindly direct all independent and private schools to cancel any celebrations of Qatar National Day in schools as of tomorrow onwards.— وزارة التعليم (@Qatar_Edu) December 14, 2016
that is really shocking
national day celebrations has never been cancelled so far
it is usually a fun day at school right before the winter break - the girls just created their cupcakes with I love Qatar text one after the others when they learned on the school bus that it was cancelled
we are not into the military demonstrations or fireworks - but these celebrations of smaller communities are really fine and fun and will be missed
however I was happy to read that still it will be a holiday - so no work on Sunday , December 18 ( Sunday normally is a working day in Qatar )
