I wonder what your real prejudice is. Is it the standard of Education imparted in premier Indian schools in Doha is eroding or are you yet another hater of Malayalees as Malayalees are now fondly or admirably for reasons of many of their virtues been addressed in short as ‘Mallus’?
If former is the case, you must know that no educational institution of Indian Management runs here on charity. At the end of the day every Indian school is concerned what they are earning. Whereas regarding quality of education of these schools one must admit that more than three quarters of the teachers working in such schools are sponsored by their spouse. Teaching may not be their prime profession but by virtue of being in Qatar it is yet another job to a family. For quality education Indian schools in this part of the world are certainly not the best bet. To obtain quality education one has to look forward to sending ones children to India. Indian managed schools here have lot of constraints and they have to function within that limitation. However, we must be thankful to them at least we are fortunate to be able send our children in Qatar the right Examination board as prescribed by the Indian Educational system.
You wrote that - quote “………..a Kerala village school and teachers speak Malayalam which is not correct for other Indian children in same class………….whole management is malayali” – unquote”. If your concern is in the direction of the overwhelming presence of Malayalees in Middle East there is no panacea for it. Your aspersion towards Malayalee community is the outcome of sheer jealousy being nurtured by other Indian communities or people from the sub-continent against Malayalees. Have you ever been to a Kerala village school? Certainly your answer will be in the negative. If you ever come across a village school in Kerala, you would have a positive perception of Malayalee community in general and Malayalee teachers in particular. You will be surprised to see the importance attributed to education even in the remotest pockets of village life in Kerala.
It is akin that in a majority situation people is prone using their mother tongue. But Malayalee teachers are certainly not un-wise using Malayalam as the medium of instruction where the students comprised are multi linguists. One thing you might have failed to notice is that the so called we ‘Mallus’ hail from a state that prides in having one hundred percentage literacy! Your children might well be fortunate being taught by Malayalee teachers.
