Private schools in Europe and the USA are also run as businesses but the reason they have to focus on results is because they are not guaranteed a long waiting list of students. If they don't offer a good education, parents will take their children elsewhere.
The problem in Qatar is that school places are limited so a long waiting list is always guaranteed for each school. Many of the schools in Qatar have the attitude of 'why try and change things if the money is going to pour in anyway'.
As you mentioned, parents are guilty as well. Because their company pays school fees they don't seem too concerned about gaining value for money. It could be argued that in other parts of the world parents may show more concern because they pay from their pockets.
