schools have different Summer vacation
By night rider •
why different schools in qatar give different summer vacation ,though summer is same,english schools have there own dates ,arabic schools have different dates while indian schools follow some different pattern.
in qatar all schools should be under one pattern of leave.
Yes, different schools in qatar have a slightly different schedule for their summer vacation, because of their country based board Exams & their syllabus completion...
The Ministry of Education has understanding in this regard and it gives a free hand to decide a suitable date with mutual understanding:)
hope new steps will be taken soon for centralising all schools fo summer vacation,to save our children from these bad happenings.as far as airport is concerned new airport is under construction.hope fast growing QA shall atart more flights through out the world.
Remember the news last month about the kindergarden little girls died inside the school bus left by bus driver? Today in arab news, the same story happened somewhere in Dammam, the young girl 5 years old left inside the van for 5 hours under 47 degress celsius temp! It's a horrible death for innocent!
School timings depend a lot upon the accreditation standards the school is following. For example, if you want to have IB accreditation, there is a minimum number of hours the school must provide instruction to students. For most external accreditation standards, the school must be open earlier in the year and stay open longer at the end to meet this minimum standard. Might be difficult for for schools to keep these standards and follow the short timings of government.
a circular issued in local Arabic daily instructing the schools (reads all schools in Qatar) to close for summer vacation on 18th of July.
But I think its not implemented yet...
Right. In Germany all schools have holidays at the same time. But they have 550 airports.
What are those replies for? people worried about the airport?
Airport have a certain capacity to handle number of flights, so if there are more people who want to travel, they just have to wait few days. Do you think they will add more flights on that day?
The need for a unified schedule have been repeatedly requested. The problem is that if your children are more than one school, or your spouse work in another, then you do not have enough time for vacation.
Steps have already been taken by Supreme Council of Education to do so. It may take few years until that come into effect.
the mayhem is terrible,
had experienced it...
I do agree on standardisation of leave!
this is freedom given to all private schools to follow as per curriculum and
can you imagine the lot of them on vacation all at the same time? oh jeez, we'll need more than one airport if that happens...
this is just to avoid the rush in the airport, otherwise Doha inetnational airport cannot handle the traffic
Errm, NO. Can you imagine what kind of mayhem that would cause at the airport? It is bad enough as it is already.
