 |
|
Hi
I've been reading up on Sabis, but most of it seems to be about Sabis in the UAE. Does anyone have any experience of Sabis in Iraq (Kurdistan)?
Have an interview soon and would like to hear any thoughts on class sizes, teacher treatment, accommodation, working conditions, honouring contract etc.
Many thanks
Jenny |

Did you do a search for this school on the General Middle East section? I recall it being discussed. Not a lot... and since it is Sabis, probably nothing positive.

| Actually, there should be at least a few posts on SABIS in Kurdistan. She might have called it Sabis Iraq, so try that search title. It could be blended in w/ the other SABIS posts. In a nutshell, it was bad. SABIS in the UAE takes the cake in their treatment of teachers, and the school in N. Iraq was no different. The money is not enough. You will have to live w/ someone. SABIS/Choueifat are MASTERS are recruiting the odd and unbalanced. Consider yourself warned. |

I had just tried to open the links to the sites about Sabis, but they came up as the blogs were deleted.
What happened?
It would be nice to know both sides of the story. |

Legal moves likely made the blog sites remove them. If by "both sides" you wanted to read every little detail of how horrible it was... naming names and taking no prisoners, they would have been informative. If you were looking for something positive, you won't find anything like that written by any ex-employee. Only a management shill would post much of anything good about them.
Oh... and the Arab parents like Sabis because they like the test test test... teach to the test... "education" system.

When I was in South Korea, I prepared students for the KNTO tour guide licensing exam and prepared business majors at a community college, also in South Korea, for the Business Communicates Certificate exam. Not to mention working for the MoD in Kuwait with their modified curriculum to prepare soldiers either to study their trade on US military bases in the US or for deployment to Iraq.
Nothing new.
But sometimes looking at the good as well as the bad could give a person a good idea of a pattern. |

The catch is that you won't find anything good... not from any ex-teacher.
