I have many relatives who have studied/graduated from EC universities. Yet, i have to admit that none have studied in government schools.
Government schools now are all under what they call as "independent schooling" which are all under trial phase. The Ministry of eduction was canceled & was replaced by what it's known know as the Supreme council of eduction. The Council role from what i understood is regulatory & doesn't really have a direct authority over the independent schools. Last August, it was announced that The council Offered All previous Government school staff intensive training to improve their skills & prepare them for teaching in independent schools. This was loathed by many, who consider it an attempt from RAND to westernize the eduction in Qatar!!!
Offcourse there is a problem, there are many opponent to reforms whether in Government schools , Qatar University or EC
