Very informative, translator!

You mean that during the 5-yr experimental stage, independent schools did not use textbooks? What did they use then? Also, you mean to say that during that stage teachers' salary structure differed from school to school?

Where does the French language fit in all this? It had been introduced last year and got taken off the curriculum of most schools this year.

What I also noticed is that not all independent schools use the same textbooks and lesson plan systems. These are determined by SEC specialists for each of the schools they supervise. Each specialist supervises a total of about 10 schools and so the system is not unified as such.

Sure, the language of teaching was only a minor element in the experiment. The title of "Independence" was meant to give authority to every school licensee to decide on daily school business. That rendered the entire system into a "chaos", where teachers and students hopping from one school to another for better pay or better education, respectively.

The current reversal stage started with unifying a curriculum and distributing text books, fixing teachers' salaries, etc

But this is not what Translator is referring to.

Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "attempts to decentralize"?

They changed all independent Schools to the English medium of study five years ago and then they realized it wasn't really working as most of the local kids failed so now they have reverted back to Arabic so its better you go for private schools.

No, I am talking about the attempt to decentralize.

What do you mean?

"a reversal stage of an education system experiment, which ended up as big failure."

Are you referring to the English VS Arabic education systems?

If you have an alternative school, please avoid these. Public schools are going through a reversal stage of an education system experiment, which ended up as big failure. This may take another 5 years to clear.
