This school is the worst school I have ever been in. There is a lot of favoritism, and many students have been mistreated by the social workers and supervisor, while the favorites get special treatment. (The girls’ section, by the way.)
The school is so bad. They don’t respect students, give full tasks and exams, and at the end, there are no activities or even a good graduation ceremony for seniors. They keep faking everything, and whenever ADEK comes to school, they tell us to shut up and not talk badly about the school when we wanted to talk. Also, the seats… are they from 1999? I don’t know. All the principals are bad, don’t send your children to this school.
This is the first year for my kids at GIPA. I enrolled my kids based on the school’s reputation, which unfortunately was not true by any means. Teachers keep leaving and new ones join throughout the year. There is a lack of support from management and teachers, and worst of all, everything is on a tablet device and lessons are carried out on presentations. They rarely make students write in their textbooks. We paid for textbooks for no reason! I am definitely taking my kids out of this school, and I don’t recommend it.
This school is more worried about students singing the national anthem than providing basic materials. All the chairs are broken and dirty; they couldn’t be bothered to clean. Classrooms are like prison cells: paper is coming off the ceilings and walls, there are stains on the floors, the AC is broken, and more. Doors are unsanitary. They prioritize the boys’ campus more than the females’. The library has become a storage room for chairs and desks and isn’t even accessible from the female side. If a teacher decides on a grade for you arbitrarily, then that is what it will become, regardless of how hard you’ve worked. They are more worried about students wearing makeup, doing their nails, and singing the national anthem than their students’ basic mental health and providing them with basic materials. They are especially hypocritical, and their teachers are unprofessional. Overall, every bad quality a school can possess is present in this school.
The lack of support for students’ mental well-being is distressing. Instead of assistance, I have encountered mockery from staff, exacerbating my struggles. It is disheartening to witness a dearth of empathy and understanding.
Moreover, the school’s impact on my physical health is undeniable. The environment seems to contribute to adverse health conditions, and I believe there is a pressing need for improvement in this regard.
Equally concerning is the apparent favoritism and discrimination prevalent in the school’s social dynamics. It is disconcerting to witness distinctions made based on familiarity rather than merit, perpetuating an atmosphere of exclusion and inequality.
I find the overall experience at Gipa to be deeply unsatisfactory, encompassing issues that span both mental and physical well-being, as well as social disparity. Urgent attention is required to address these concerns and foster a more supportive and inclusive educational environment.
Possibly the most corrupt school in Al Ain, teachers are selling tests left and right. Students who don’t know how to write a single English sentence are graduating with 90+ marks. This school isn’t fair for anyone actually trying to study! You’ll probably get higher marks cheating, and the teachers always let it slide. There’s a lot of favoritism towards higher-level students, not because they’re academically better, just because they’re related to the owner and so on. We saw the principal a handful of times the whole year; I don’t know what she does. She just walks around acting important, lol. Even as a student, you can tell how teachers of higher ranks see themselves as above the newer ones and extremely overwork them just to avoid hiring new teachers to save money. It’s a very cheap and unfair system. In general, it’s an inconsistent, unreasonably priced, and corrupt school on so many levels.
Excellent school for my kid over the last year. Wouldn’t send him anywhere else. Great leadership & great teachers. Wishing the school and its teachers all the best.
