Annotation

The 2002 instating of English as the medium of instruction (EMI) in mathematics, science, and technology in the K-12 system in Qatar failed and in 2012 Arabic was reinstated as the language of instruction in grades K-12 in schools as well as at Qatar University in all areas of social sciences.
