本文利用制度分析的框架，研究了卡塔尔教育改革倡议的实施情况，该倡议被称为“教育新时代- ENE”，该倡议从2004年开始将卡塔尔的所有公立学校转变为特许学校，称为“独立学校”，并赋予它们在教学、管理和财务方面的广泛决策权。然而，到2016年，教育管理恢复到集中控制。这项研究认为，ENE倡议包括阻碍实现其主要目标的矛盾。此外，这一倡议夹在全球和国家对教育及其在社会中的作用的规定之间，这引起了官僚和民众对它的不满。
Utilizing a framework derived from institutional analysis, this paper examines the implementation of Qatar's education reform initiative dubbed "Education for a New Era - ENE," This initiative transferred all public schools in Qatar into Charter Schools, called "Independent Schools," starting 2004, and granted them broad decision-making authorities in pedagogical, managerial, and financial matters. By 2016, however, education administration reverted to centralized control. This study argues that the ENE initiative included contradictions that impeded the achievement of its main goals. Furthermore, the initiative was caught between global and national prescriptions for education and its role in society, which raised bureaucratic as well as popular resentment against it.
