This is what the ad is claiming today and I must say, it is news to me. |

I recently came across an EdEx ad that stated, "These (teacher) appointments will complement a strong, existing cadre of accomplished, professionally credentialed, experienced ESL staff." Wow! How impressive is that! They obviously value the teachers they hire! NOT!
It's just a typical marketing ploy. These recruiters have to step it up because 1) they're competing against each other to quickly fill teaching spots (and get that commission), and 2) they need to do damage control due to the infinite negative reviews about them that are turning off potential applicants. |

Perhaps they are referring to the fact that PNU is the world's largest university for women; or maybe that it cost $5.3 billion to build; or that it occupies 8 million square metres; or that it can cater for 50,000 students;or that it took 75,000 non-Saudi, international construction workers to build.
Ahhh! Now what about the education within? |
