A/HRC/44/39/Add.3 all the matters related to labour and in particular the work regulation, ways to increase and develop the production and enhance productivity, as well as hearing of individual and collective disputes and attempting the amicable settlement thereof. 9. The Ministry of Education and Higher Education encourages teachers to establish specialized committees for workers in the field of education. The duration of committee’s membership is three years and it is based on the results of voting process, allowing teachers and principals to exercise their electoral and democratic right to participate in the selection of members of the advisory committees, thus enhancing their participation in making educational decisions as follows: 10. First: Establishment of an advisory committee for teachers specializing in the following: (a) Engaging teachers in developing the educational process, promoting confidence between leadership and the educational field and exchanging experiences; (b) Monitoring challenges and obstacles in the educational field by discussing their causes and proposing solutions to them in line with teachers’ visions and aspirations; (c) Strengthening the professional partnership with educational leaders with the aim of evaluating educational decisions, programs and plans; (d) Promoting the professional development of teachers to master and improve the work. (e) Activating dialogue mechanisms, increasing communication opportunities, and exchanging experiences between teachers and educational leaders. 11. Second: Election of an advisory committee for school principals specializing in the following: (a) Promoting a team spirit, consultation between educational leaders and increase their participation in the development; (b) Exchanging different educational experiences to face the education problems and obstacles and proposing practical solutions; (c) Strengthening the professional partnership with the decision makers at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education in order to assess and evaluate the educational decisions, programmes and plans; (d) Contributing to achieving the Ministry's strategic plan in developing education in the State; (e) Referring to what was stated in paragraph (10), the reason for the reservation to Article (3) of the two International Covenants was their inconsistency with the provisions of Islamic Sharia in matters of inheritance and birth. It never infringes the principle of equality between men and women and has no effect on the rights of girls in the field of education. 12. The right to education is guaranteed by the Qatari constitution in its articles (25- 49). Education is compulsory for all groups in society without discrimination in accordance with the applicable laws, and these reservations did not affect the principle of equality in legislation concerning education. On the contrary, the percentage of female graduates from Qatar University for the academic year (2016-2017) is about 70 percent of the total graduates from various colleges such as engineering, medicine, law, economics, arts and science…etc. Moreover, university total enrollment figures show that females outnumbered their male counterparts. 13. As a result of this demand for higher education, the percentage of Qatari women participating in the labor force has increased, reaching about 37% for women aged 25-29 years, and about 49%for women aged 30-34 years, according to statistics issued by The Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics for the year 2017. Women also had a majority of jobs in the education, health, and social work fields. 3
