They take advance payment before the new session to secure your child/s seat/s its kinda bribe if u r unable to pay ur child will loose his/her seat.. last year 5 tp 10 % fees was increased without consulting or informing parents... Facilities, environment including education standards were dropped by more than 30% :( no proper security surveillance or maintenance systems are in place.. But they all this greed and commercialism in educational institutions will never stop until the parents dont stand and let the authorities know about the issues which they are facing... The good in Qatar is that the authorities listens to you and they take proper actions as well.. but u have to take initiative.. writing on social sites or cursing will not help at all..
