In some of these posts, there seems to be the assumption that school fees are very high in Doha because the owners of the schools just want to make lots of money. Maybe this is not the case. I would suggest that the cost of recruiting (and retaining) teachers is considerable. On top of that, schools also have to find somewhere for their teachers to live. If that were not enough, some schools then have the problem that a fair percentage of the teachers they have recruited will then decide that they miss their friends and families and so they want to leave before the end of their contracts.
