Born in Damascus in 1970, al-Qadri completed his secondary education in his hometown. During his teaching career, he pursued university studies and graduated with a degree in Arabic language from Damascus University. He later enrolled in a master's program in Arabic literature and continues his postgraduate studies.[2]
Al-Qadri worked as an Arabic language teacher for 18 years and also taught at a teacher training institute, specializing in Arabic language education. In 2008, he was arrested by the Syrian Ba'athist regime and spent ten years in detention, until his release in 2018.[2]
Following his release, al-Qadri contributed to the educational sector in opposition-held territories. He worked at the Dana Educational Complex for two years, overseeing educational activities. He was later appointed as the director of secondary education at the complex for one and a half years and served as the director of internal oversight for the Ministry of Education in the Syrian Salvation Government for more than a year. Additionally, he was a member of the Council of Education and chaired the Committee for Organization and Administration in the ministry.[2]
In 2024, al-Qadri began serving as the Minister of Education in the Syrian transitional government under prime minister Mohammed al-Bashir after the fall of the Assad regime and the decision that ministers of the salvation government will serve in the same roles in the transitional government until March 2025.[1]
