I strongly disagree with reducing the winter holidays. This time Qatar experience the very hot summer days, ministry announced to close the schools , still only the DMIS school were very pushing the children to suffer up to July end with after noon activities. Now by cutting the winter holydays, they messed up the winter vacation planning and also pushing the children to suffer in winter climate. Looks like they are running a day care centre rather than school. Really no idea what they want to show....?
