It seems that most locals don't see the trees for the forest kind of thing. The only basis for conparision someone from inside the environment has is what they know or have seen. Most local people don't know good or bad education because that have no basis of comparision. That may have been a broad generalization on my part but most of my experience in this area is to get better, you have to know you have a problem.

Qatar may be ahead of some other gulf states but the lead they had before is slipping. They have become too unfocused on Education and moved on to other areas.
