I want to bring the attention of all teachers who are crazy to do job abroad. Please do not leave your permanent job in pakistan to join these fraud schools in eastern province of saudi arabia. Al-hussan international school in dammam, khobar and jubail are well known to hire the teachers every year and then putting them out of the kingdom like # the very next year. Many teachers from city schools, beaconhouse, chandbagh, aps, sst tando allah yar and from many prestigious schools in pakistan joined this fraud company and were also fired from them the following year.

Off Course!
These fraud Schools have no moral values.
They have some Pakistani stupid managers whose education is not more than matric but they are the in laws of the owner and they have handicapped every professional in these schools. These Pakistanis came to Saudi Arabia some 25 years back and were employed in baqalas or general stores. When company started the schools, they became business managers or like this. Every year they fire the old teachers and bring new one.

you can easily call them the ### schools in Dammam, Khobar and Jubail

When did the complaints about management happen? Was it this year or long time ago? They are hiring teachers from the Philippines now and some teachers need to also be warned if the problem still exists.

It would also be fair if those who complain, share what they did about their concerns/complaints when they asked their supervisors or manager.

Al hussan international school is a very bad school. Students feel imprisoned and this school has bad teachers that don't know how to teach. Students get no amount of respect whatsoever even if they're paying for the staff's bills. Everything in that school is messed up and I wouldn't want my kid going to that school and suffering. All they care about is money and nothing else. As long as they get money nothing else matters.

I have recently received a contract from the AlHussan folks. I don't know what to do. Should I sign it? I picture a nice school with willing polite students and me doing my very best to stimulate them and help them learn. I am not sure now what to do. I can not survive an unruly class of students who do not want to learn. I am not willing to give up my life here and go to somewhere to be abused. You know? Please help me decide what to do.

I think we need here someone who could share unbiased opinion about this school. As an experienced teacher, I know that most of the private institutions being commercialized give undue advantage to the students and they also try to get the best possible return from the teachers against what they pay them.On the other hand, teaching community is a blend of real and so called teachers.Consequently, management of schools at times justifies firing those who are not up to the mark. But, in some cases teachers are victimized by the money minded management who wants to get rid of some real good teachers to save money.This is the plight of today's world of education, especially private.The solution to the problem lies in doing your part honestly and sincerely.

I was at Al Hussan School and they are not a good school. Students left this school in greater percentage and teachers have lots of complaints to their manager staff and the worst of all is the replacement of new teachers every year. Students have NO PROPER DISCIPLINE and THEY DO NOT RESPECT TEACHERS. There are no good rules about this school. They wanted to make themselves clean and wanted only money without proper education. Their reputation is already very bad in society. Teachers became victims of this worst institution specially new teachers.

Mariya international school is a big scam for parents and students as well.
they hire undergraduate teachers for kg's, level 3, 4 and even for higher levels as well.
being a teacher there I witnessed that and many other things, and by the way as a parents when u ay miscellaneous every semester u should not pay for trips and water cups and bottles, soaps and tissues but in fact u pay for trips more than needed, and they sent a long letter asking parents to provide water for kids as school stopped providing it !
ALHUSSAN at least hire genuine teachers and gets them legally and make sure of there certificates and careful for such a thing would harm and anger the parents.
MIS is the best worst option around here

Mariya International School, for a student point of view may be okay. But, never will I recommend that for a teacher who's looking for job. The worst ambiance you can ever expect. Lots of humiliation, politics, sudden lay off, unplanned curriculum, immense workload for the pay, etc. Students there enjoy lot of freedom and teachers are like prisoners...! I will never suggest Mariya School/MIS as an alternative for any job seekers, around! Trust me... U r gonna undergo literal mental trauma post joining there!

My children have attended Al Hussan International School Jubail since 2001. I researched local schools and I found Al Hussan to be the best. It Is accredited internationally and registered with the Saudi ministry.

I have found the standard of teaching to be of a good standard. Comparable to thst found in Western Europe and the US.

I'm a level 7 student of Maria Int'l School and I would like to clear my doubts.

My parents are planning to transfer me to the school complained about next school year, and I had told them about the reviews that mostly are negative towards Al Hussan. And they have reminded me a couple of times not to listen or get it into me when my friend said of the same about her friend's lack of great education standards' at this school.

At first I had wanted to transfer for the sake of my future because Mariya doesn't offer a complete K-12 system. However, these comments really puts a burden on my shoulders as to which side I'll go with. I'm very frustrated since it's just a week away before I'll take the entrance exams and I might regret it later.

To respective teachers and students who had been/are currently under the Al Hussan administration, I seek your feedback as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Fatima

Just student. For you you are not the student you are one of the Pakistani manager of alhussan you are also Pakistani smell your own odour it should be bad think. When you hire teachers at that time you people are blind why not u select the right person so this means that really u people are unprofessional. In Pakistan u select right person and upon reaching saudia it become incompetent . Just student think about itself manager sahib. And again I clear this complaint box is made by a ### not by me. I love alhussan school.it is a quality school.I am imran ullah not I man ullah khan he was English teacher but very good teacher he was

What a shame! Pakistani teachers were blaming to Administration who itself a Pakistani. It's not a question of a Pakistani or any other national. If teacher is not good either male or female, them Students need to complain their parents first & then register their complaints to School Administration. They might change or give training to teachers for smooth operation. I disagree with many Pakistani's teachers they said O Level English & As level English is very tough no one can teach like me or higher capable teachers from Pakistan. I have one question as not a native English speaker can we challenge a native speaker. If we have proud on our mother tongue then Native English speakers too. I agreed with Asraf "I used to know an English teacher who claimed he learned English from watching television" ...Pity on them & Deep Ponder to Alhussan Management about hiring of teachers.

Hi..i want to highlight another issue here. In 1999, i did my 9th grade from this school. A year later i switched back to another ISG school. Presently, i am a ph.d candidate n lecturer in a private university of pakistan. I was seeking attestation of my degrees from higher education comission of pakistan last year. I had to present grades n mark sheets of my 9, 10, 11 and 12 as per HEC requirement. There i was told that in 1999 al hussan was niether accridated nor recognized by saudi government or any other body therefore i was asked to repeate 9th grade examinations in pakistan. My whole attestation process is ceased due to this school. I cant move to any other country without my degrees being attested. I was also told by some high authorities that i hold the right to sue the school for giving admission to students without being accredidated or recognized. I am looking for some link to reach to mr rashid directly about this if he could at least provide me with some written explaination that may help me proceed with my career. If there is any one who can help me contact them please let me know. There has been no response on emails. My email address is as_k6@yahoo.com

Reading the comments posted by 'teachers' of Al Hussan Schools is painful - the colourful language, which is laced with grammatical errors, is evidence enough that those writing either aren't teachers or they are in dire need of teacher training. I agree with Asraf on all points except for the part of his unfortunate experience with body odour. Dude, I can assure you, properly educated Pakistanis don't suffer from issues that reek! I hope you do meet some of us who will change your opinion (lol). Now back to the Al-Hussan bashing issue. I think it is absolutely unfair to write about one's experience and then extend it so as to make it sound like the rule, rather than the exception. Please, all those who have had a enjoyable time at the school should write on this forum so in the future, people will think twice before using their limited English language skills to blacklist any educational institute. AND I AM IN NO WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOL, so kindly do not accuse me of being an accomplice!

imran ullah azhar 111, you claim the teachers that are asslickers are the ones that make it to the top, I agree with you about some of them, and I'm talking as a student in the Jubail school, but I completely disagree about others. Do you really think Mr. Arnous kisses the admins ### to keep his job? Do you? There are countless teachers who have been in the school for a long time and you, or somebody else, said that the management hires and fires to save money, you are sadly mistaken. The school fires because some teachers show the complete and utmost incompetence when teaching. The only decent math teachers the school ever had left for a) better offers or b) problems with OTHER teachers and not with the admins. There has not been a proper Physics teacher in ages and also most of the teachers are not qualified to teach, as I'm sure some of you are not qualified to teach. I used to know an English teacher who claimed he learned English from watching television. In what way does that mean you are competent to teach the language? When teachers come in saying "I have a masters degree in chemistry" that doesn't mean you are qualified to teach chemistry. Yet, the school hires these people and gives them a chance. But when confronted and complained against by the same people they are teaching what happens? You go back to your little computers, with your little keyboards typing away that it wasn't your fault and that the school is a fraudulent system based on a web of lies, ###-kissing and connections with the higher-ups or with the owners. You go back to your little keyboards and show how truly petty and childish you are, this is coming from somebody half or a quarter your age. You should take that into consideration.

There are things called teaching degrees which most of the teachers don't have, however, if they're any good they're kept. If they're not, they're fired. The school might have had some injustices with a few people before but it is not the ### hellhole you claim it is and you have no right to claim it is.

Another thing that shows how truly hypocritical and petty you all are. You tell students that swearing is a huge injustice and they need to stop and make huge fusses about it with the admins to get student in detention or even suspension, have athletic external tournaments cancelled and shatter the hopes of some students possibly having that rare fit into a great university based on an athletic scholarship, and then think yourself a good person then come back in here and do the exact same thing.

I am honestly sickened by what you have turned out to truly be and I am absolutely glad most of you have not taught me.

Also, you say that Pakistanis do not have body odour or bad breath, I will agree with the part that says "Pakistanis" I am not a racist and I will not condemn an entire population. However, most of the teachers that teach in our school do indeed have bad hygiene habits, countless times has the staff room smelt like something had died in there. You have teachers that come in to school with a truly pungent odour that stings. It literally stings. I will not be the typical racist Arab and claim it's because of where they come from.

Also when you make fun of a person for not being able to spell, make sure your statements aren't flooded with grammatical errors. Reading your statements made my eyes bleed.

And finally, a little bit of advice. The next time you leave a place that you didn't like, don't go on telling everybody that it was the worst experience you've had in your life, because a) you might need to look in the mirror some time and think 'what did I do wrong?' and b) other people have different opinions than your own.

Good day,
Asraf.

Dear All,

I am a UK expat, college lecturer and father of three.

The anger and frustration felt in the above comments are shared also by parents whose children attend or have attended the 'Al Himar', or 'Al Hussan School in Jubail.

Recently, I have been surveying schools in the Jubail area for my sons who are about to begin school.
I asked many parents and non parents to give me feedback about schools, to share their stories and experiences.

Al Hussan was the worst. Complaints center around poor school management, abusive teacher/admin relations, terrible handling of parents, low standard classroom teachers and lack of support for parents of the 7 children who died in the road tragedy in Jubail. (March 2013).

After speaking to so many people, I came away with the strong impression that Al Hussan' cares much more about grabbing money than it does about education.

Frankly, this is sad but I am glad I know this before deciding to send my son to that school.

One example of abuse is the school issuing a photocopied class book to a pupil whose father hadn't met the books fees deadline. The child in question felt so bad.

Another example of abuse is the school refused to give children a ride home on the bus because the fees payable by the child's father's company hadn't yet reached their bank account.

Others relate how children suffer in class due to low paid, poor teachers, parents suffering at the hands of harsh and abusive administrators, teachers suffering abuse in the class at the hands of admin, summary job firings, all manner of abuse and ill feeling.

Many parents I know had withdrawn their children from that school. Many others want to but feel there are so few alternatives.

The 'Al Mariya International School' in Jubail is a much better alternative. They offer 'O' levels program and a project based learning curriculum. Their website www.mariyaschool.com is friendly and student centered. They even have long condolences for parents of the Al Hussan road accident tragedy. The Al Hussan website has NO condolences which shows their real lack of empathy.

The 'Al Hussan School' admin should pay serious attention to the poor reputation is has developed over the years and the negative impact this is having on parents and the community as a whole.

Teachers, parents and their children are the school's most valuable assets NOT buildings and chairs. These human assets need care, careful and kindly attention and proper longer term financial investment.

If I can take anything positive from this it is that now I know how NOT to run a school and 'Al Hussan' has shown us al the mistakes so as they may not be repeated.

Yours,
Abu Hamza
