Where are you just now?

SQU is interviewing although people are waiting for start dates. That's about it as far as I know. Most of the colleges seem much the same.

As for the recruiters, a sponsor gets his hands on a contract and uses the cheapest ways to manage it hence the staff in place.

Why wouldn't the Ministry of Higher Education at least have the sense to use the SQU system, which vets and hires all of its own teachers... is efficient and effective... and there is very little turnover.


Because under the present 'system', pockets are being filled - at very high levels. The reason also why there are no penalties when some flake who has not been properly vetted does the midnight run. Simply replace him/her with another warm body, and palms are once more crossed with silver.

The 'tea money' flows the other way - into the higher echelons of the MoM, not from it. That is what I meant by very high levels.

But wasn't there a case in Muscat (mas qat) a few years back of someone who once worked at the ministry becoming a recruiter?

I do recall he was based in dubai Rolling Eyes
