The UAE
What are the schools in UAE like?
When we asked about the schools in UAE, they said...
"Have a look around and compare others in the area. There are not many that can compare. This school was set up in 1974 and has good sized classes. Near enough to Dubai and easy to get to," said one expat in Sharjah with children at Sharjah English School.
"Don't! The teachers (not all, but quite a few) are rude and they they are basically ruled over by the Head and the others in top positions. Gosh, that's a rude lot. I you want a good school, try DESS, JESS or Jebel Ali. The American Scools are better as well. It was a huge mistake we made putting our child in when we arrived from the UK. What a poor waste of the formative years," remarked one parent with kids at Horizon School in Dubai.
