Hi,

We fully agree with what has been posted through these blogs. The JPS management is behaving in a very autocratic way.

The class size has really come as a shock as it has compromised the quality of teaching. We expect one to one support for our children but poor teachers can hardly do that now.

But the class size is not the only issue; there are problems with the uniform and school buses as well. By the end of last semester the school management unilatererally decided to increase bus fees by 100 %. The management justified this increase by saying that a new company has taken over school transport. In reality, however, it was GEMS who created a company to charge extortionist money from parents. ( Drivers, conductors, buses everything is same…only name has been changed)

All know about school uniform fiasco. Tacky and cheesy clothes with awful tailoring make the uniform of a school, which thinks itself to be the best in UAE!!! Despite promises, the quality of the uniform has not improved...it is even worst. Why can't GEMS have a different supplier? Well, we don't need to hire Sherlock Holmes to find out!

While we are not against school making money to support activities, but this is pure greed.

I feel we should continue to put pressure on the management rather than giving up and taking our children off GPS.

Regards.
