TIME TO WAKE UP 🇺🇸: In addition to billions of dollars we’ve tracked from Qatar going into American Universities, Qatar has spent more than $65 million over the past 16 years to influence U.S. education through the “Qatar Foundation International” organization (QFI). QFI has engaged across K–12 schools, universities, teacher training programs, and national education networks, not only promoting Arabic language education but also shaping broader curricula in subjects such as social studies, science, arts, and technology. Our report exposes how this activity has been largely non-transparent, embedded through partnerships with federally funded university resource centers and professional education organisations, and at times involved direct oversight of lesson content, teacher training programs, and curriculum development. The report further shows that QFI has worked to embed ideological influence within educational institutions, including promoting narratives critical of Israel and expanding its reach through trained educators who then disseminate materials to others. We call for federal investigations into QFI. Several U.S. lawmakers quoted in the report expressed concern about foreign influence in classrooms and called for greater oversight and transparency.
