On 23 April 2025, the Royal Thai Embassy in Doha inaugurated the “English Class for Daily Life” program for Thai students in Qatar for the 2025 academic year. H.E. Mr. Sira Swangsilpa, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand to the State of Qatar, presided over and welcomed the students to the program. In 2025, a total of 14 Thai students, who are currently studying at Institute of Religious Studies Preparatory and Secondary School for Boys under the scholarships of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, are participating in the program with Mr. Clifton Longhurst, the English teacher in this year’s program.
The Royal Thai Embassy has continuously organized this English program for Thai students since 2017 (except during the COVID-19 pandemic). The primary objective of the program is to enhance student’s English communication skills, which will not only benefit their daily lives but also improve their educational opportunities and future career prospects. The program aims to contribute to the overall well-being and development of Thai students in Qatar.
