    Description


    QFI is a US based organization committed to advancing the value of teaching and learning Arabic as a global language.

    QFI works to increase access to research-informed Arabic instruction for educators and students.

    With more than a decade of experience working in the Americas, the United Kingdom (UK) and Europe, QFI has established networks of educators, administrators, students, researchers, and other experts in language learning.

    With Arabic language programs more prominent at the university level, the number of Arabic education programs offered at the primary and secondary level has not changed much, providing an opportunity for QFI to position Arabic as a global language that is taught at an earlier age.

    The PA is responsible for the announcement, application, review, award, monitoring, and closing processes of certain QFI grant programs.
