M.E.S indian school. Anarchist
M.E.S started refusing admission to certain nationals back in 1998. There rationale was that students from certain background can be a disruptive influence. Critics were in peace back then. Now, it is simply ridiculous. Why refuse admission to non-Indian nationals? Is the eduction ministry aware of this? There should be tough rules and fines for this. I know of no PRIVATE schools in qatar or overseas which conduct in such non ethical fashion.
As the oldest expat school from the sub-continent, its current state is pretty sad. Looks like there is no venue for genuine, focused feed back, so as to improve the status of around 10000 students, many of whom cannot afford other schools.
So focus the feedback here. REMEMBER THAT THE IDEA IS NOT TO BASH INDIVIDUALS, BUT HIGHLIGHT ISSUES.

Some tit bits from the above link... following schools give preference to British nationals.
School: Doha English Speaking School (DESS)
Remarks: Language test required; preference given to British expats
School: Doha Independent School
Location: on campus of Doha College
Remarks: Priority given to British expats
There's no mention specifically to Doha college but apparently the Doha Independent School which is ON the Doha College campus gives preference to British nationals...
mischief makers.
students of origin from some of the India's neighbouring countries did make mischeif mongering. They are expelled from their own schools in Doha and wants to join in Indian school.
WHY TO INVITE PROBLEMS FROM THOSE NATIONALITIES ?
WHAT IS THE DEDICATION OF THE PARENTS OF SUCH NATIONALTIES IN STUDENS EDUCATION --- THAT IS ANOTHER DISTURBING QUESTION THOSE PARENTS WISH TO AVOID
xyned,in the old days,i mean 10-15 years ago,most of the expatraite schools,and not just the indian schools used to admitt students of all nationalities,but now the rules have changed,
i don't agree with verisimilitude,Doha College did not give the first priority to british nationals alone,but they rather enrolled students from all nationalities earlier,same with Qatar Foundation.
'anarchist' is not the right word..
verisimilitude's point of view is right..it has always been the prerogative of the schools to give preference to their nationals..
Indian schools are supposed to give priority to applicants of Indian nationality, that is the primary reason they were allowed to set up here. To provide education to Indians.
All Indian schools currently are swamped with more admission requests than the capacity they have. So if they let a non-Indian national in, they would be denying another Indian student a seat, that doesn't make sense.
By the way, MES is not the only school doing this and neither is this practice restricted to Indian schools. Doha College gives first priority to British. American School of Doha gives first priority to Americans.
Qatar Foundation gives first priority to Qataris...
So before you call someone 'anarchist', you really should check your facts first...
looks like the cycle is starting to come back.
Indian bashing,
muslim bashing
now wait for others turn
xyned,since none of your family or friends are seeking admission in MES indian school,why do you even bother about who they want to enroll? i agree it's ridiculous,indian students are their first priority.
Well the school is meant for Indians.
They have difficulty in providing admission to Indians then how can they even think of admitting students of other nationalities.
Nowadays the major nationalities in Qatar have got their own school. Why dont they prefer sending their kids to those schools
there are a few students{below 10} from other nationalities like iran and sudan.
but let me tell u that IT'S A STUPID SCHOOL AND THE TEACHERS DON'T EVEN KNOW TO CONTROL A CLASS.
there are nearly 40 students in a class
and some teachers don't even know to teach.
i am a student studying there.
yes it is
after finishing my schooling in 2005 new laws were imposed dont know why
lets hope for the best i hope that u get the admission and have a prosperous future
regards
I am a bit nosey. Not that any of my family needs admission. Just that this is very disturbing.
during my time i.e. 2004-2005 there were plenty of non-indians especially the people from sudan and somalia now everything just changed ??
find it hard to believe no wonder its the best school
first time i am seeing a person from an australian background wants an admission in an indian school
cant believe it
