I have a child currently in year 10 at NIS and we are experience problems first hand. You obviously seem to be siding the school but if you are working at the school you will know that the Principal has recently been dismissed????, the Accounting teacher has also been dismissed????? and that the school has been constantly changing the certain available optional subjects offered to pupils in the first term. The latest change is that the school cannot offer Accounting as a subject because there are no/inadequate subject matter teachers to teach Accounting. The Year 10 students have been requested to choose an alternative subject to Accounting in the second term. Even whats more disappointing is that the teachers are currently advising the current Accounting students that Accounting subject is not required for one to pursue a career in Accounting at tertiary level.I was informed by my child, today, that the teachers suggest that Accounting, Business Economics and Economics are very similar/same subjects. This is so untrue and misleading to the pupils.
As for the Supreme Education Council of Qatar, they can be informed of such mismanagement of schools in Qatar but the reaction is too late to save the current Year 10 students who have just about 5 months left to complete year 10.
Fortunately for us we will be taking our child out of the school and he would have to repeat year 10 in an overseas school. As for the other older children in his grade they are going to struggle next year if this management practice is going to continue.
Whilst this is my opinion I can assure you that the consequences of the poor teaching practice at Year 10 will have devastating consequences for those pupils wishing to pursue a professional qualification at tertiary level.
My advise to the educators of NIS is please don't take a teaching job if you cannot deliver what is expected of a qualified and subject matter expert teacher especially at Secondary level.
