Just Doha Gossip?
Found this on another site whose identity I'll keep to myself. Just wanted to know if anyone had heard of this or knows the identity of the school. Maybe the poster is a member of QL?
"International Schools usually act in a professional manner with their recruitment policy, by attending a recruitment fair in major world cities (CIS, SEARCH etc), sometimes they use a reputable recruitment agency, especially if their school is in Asia or South America or set up a few interview centre for themselves, sometimes in Europe, Asia and/or the Middle East and invite candidates to attend. However, the director of one notorious Doha school, decides that having a ‘jolly’ is really the most economical way to recruit. In a number of separate ‘tours’ from December to April, he’s off to: London, Hong Kong, Brisbane, Sidney, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai, Edinburgh, Toronto, Vancouver, Kansas, Washington, Athens and Cape Town. This is not rumour, look at their website. Staff who have been in the school for 5 years have never received a salary increase, parents have to buy text books and the fabric of the school in crumbling. I think, “He’s having a laugh!” Don’t you?"
sounds interesting ... lets make it happen

That was about something different, and anyway the school in question is in DOHA and the Dukhan school is a free school ie no charge to parents, not a penny.

the oldest International school in Qatar- 52yrs old. And btw its not the school in question, before anyone gets ideas

No idea what school it is. there are far too many. It was easy when there were only 5 (including Dukhan).
DG, it does make interesting reading doesn't it....lol
No, I was saying that I have it all planned out, I know when I am going to leave. Nothing would keep me here after that as it will be time to move on.
Anywhere I'd rather go to Doha if there's socializing to do.

Thought I saw you saying somewhere that you were packing it in. Glad to hear I still have the chance to get over to Dukhan (or wherever it is) to meet you and JJ (again).
There you go! Something to look forward to hehehe
Im staying for a year, probably two now.

aren't you due to return to UK soon, Ade? :D
(I know, I KNOW ! 'don't call me Ade')
I have no inkling at all as to the person having a 'jolly'. But I would bet on it being one of three schools. Although I could be wrong.

TES is the website of the Times Educational Supplement, an educational about UK education which is a weekly publication. I have seen it in Jarir I think. A lot of teachers go to the 'staffroom' which is a kind of chatroom to ask about schools worldwide and gripe about their jobs, etc. It can be quite entertaining! _______________________________________________________

if i work in a place without salary increase for 5 yrs wthout salary increase, i would move on to somewhere else.
Would the website be TES?
Does anyone out there in QL land actually know for a fact which school it is?

It's a legal thing, I don't want to name the website but safe to say its a UK site and part of one of the leading World Media Empire's subsidiaries.
The reason no names are mentioned is so that it cant be 'pulled' from the site. We know it's in Doha and the info is on the school's website, I just wondered if anyone knew which school it was; I'm just too lazy to trawl school websites.

I don't know thats why I asked. The particular website I got it from does not allow people or institutions to be named.
