the reforms will take a generation to work it's way through the system.

If Qataris dont want to reform schooling here then they can not complain when that level of education is deemed insufficient for entry at EC universities.

This Rand nonsense is a smoke screen - these uni's in the west are not beholden to them, in fact there is no connection at all to them, they are just the normal entry requirements everywhere - not just the US.
Anyway, in the West it is often claimed that the entry requirements have been lowered significantly over the years - and Qatar still complains it's too difficult!

many plagues, famines, fiery serpents, etc because no specific numbers
were given. Satan - 10."
