As I may have mentioned before, parents who have just arrived or who are about to arrive in Doha have (or will have) a slight problem. All of the good schools are full up and have long waiting lists. Some of them will not even put your child's name on the waiting list because they say that it is full up! On the other hand, there are some schools that may perhaps have a place for your child. There is a good reason for this. These schools are awful! Terrible! How do you know that a school is appalling? Because if it was any good it would be full up.
As for anyone who is thinking of teaching at a school in Doha, be warned that there is something called the SUPREME (AND ABSOLUTELY PERFECT) EDUCATION COUNCIL. The main purpose of the SEC is to interfere with the running of international schools and to make sure that Qatari students get lots of Arabic, Islamic Studies and Qatari History. Just what young people need in the 21st century!
