tinawagan din ako and i'm sure malaking problema. balita ko eh hindi nga matutuloy ang pasukan this sundayt dahil wala pa raw approval sa ministry yung mga buildings na naitayo, hindi daw safe. Yun yata ang pag uusapan at ili limit lang nila sa issue na yun. hindi daw sila mag entertain ng ibang issue. attend po ako. sana mag sama sama tayopng mga magulang ng PSD para masa ayos kung ano man meron sa PSD. Kawawa naman ang mga bata. Halimbawa lang na hindi matuloy ang pasok at sa july na nila i resume, magbabayd ba tayo uli ng tuition at school bus fee? kasi baka sabihin nila na sinuswelduhan ang mga teachers kaya dapat..hehehhe nag speculate lang po...isa pa.., eh kung hindi pa rin ma approve, papaano mga bata..sabagay, baka mamaya eh masagot nila yun. kaya attend tayo..yung lang po..bow.

dapat talaga umattend lahat ng parents ,iwan muna yang mga gawaing bahay at maraming oras para dyan.Ito na kasi pagkakataon para marinig ang side nila at magpaliwanagan ang mga admin at mga magulang.At sana rin lang yung mga aattend ay hindi uupo lang at pag magtatanong ang admin kung may mga katanungan or reklamo pa ay magsisitahimik lang .PagTapos ng meeting ay saka magsisispagreact at napansin ko rin kung sino pa ang mga di umattend sila pa yung maraming tanong at reklamo.

May ugali kasi ang mga Pinoy na pagharapan or meeting na ay mga tameme at aayon na lang tapos non saka magsasalitaan pag tapos na.

sa mga parents na di nag-aatend ng meeting yun pa ang maraming reklamo. So, I urge you to attend and take your part in the discussions as they (PSD admins & faculties) are the right people to answer all your inquiries & doubts about the school. And whatever replies you'll get from them, I hope you'll be contented and not to spread wrong info about them or the school.See you at 4pm/PSD Campus.

nicaq25 said well, me too ...

did not receive any call or sms yet from them. I just read the info thru QL this morning. SO I called them & got my confirmation. they said there are 2 teachers assigned for each grade/year level to send out this announcement or contact the parents/guardians, so it may take time yet. I'm sure they all depend on the contact numbers you wrote on the forms you filled-up, hope you updated them on your latest mobile contact no.

promise ill do my best na makakuha ng tamang info regarding this. anyway nicaq25 is doing her duties as a parent in psd kaya ganoon din gawin natin we should have time to do our part as parent. pakiusap lang if di talaga reliable ang info huwag ng magpost. tandaan we have only 2 phil. school here in qatar so dapat pagtulungan natin itong maging maayos kung may mga problema, kasi di talaga maiwasan yan. iwasan na rin natin ang intriga, siraan (meron ba?) at pulitikahan dito (meron din ba?) dapat lagi natin tandaan na laging una dapat ang kapakanan ng ating mga anak. rest assured may magmamatyag na sa psd at kasama na si bisdak dun!

In regards to this intrigue that some people posted here about PSD, I urge you to please have time to visit them (PSD Administration)and laid down everything you need to know and be clarified. This forum is not a proper forum, more so that no solution for your complains.Unless otherwise, you have other agenda about the school?

Some classrooms shut as PSD reopens
Web posted at: 6/23/2009 2:49:52
Source ::: The Peninsula/ BY CHRIS V PANGANIBAN

DOHA: Some 1,000 students of Philippine School Doha (PSD) attended the first day of school in the new academic year yesterday even as classrooms for several grades were closed because they are yet to comply with some building regulations.

Alex Acosta, the PSD principal, said classes for students of the nursery and kindergarten, the preparatory level and of grades one to three and fourth year high school, had started smoothly. “We are grateful to the parents for being considerate enough to understand our situation,” he said.

He expressed optimism the authorities would give the school due consideration, hopefully any day next month, and allow it to start classes for grades five and six and first year to third year of high school after the building regulations were complied with.

Acosta said the consultant and contractor for the school buildings had assured him they would make a representation before the authorities this week.

Thirty-seven classrooms are awaiting approval by the Civil Defence department of the Ministry of Interior on account of requirements like having water sprinklers to deal with any fire, and an evacuation plan.

Acosta said yesterday the school still had enough time to comply with the requirement of the Philippine Department of Education of having at least 200 school days during a school year

He said they would continue classes till April instead of March next year.

He also dismissed complaints from some parents that the school’s teaching standards were declining, particularly in English, math and the sciences. He explained the school had remedial classes for pupils poor in reading, and ability-wise grouping for math, such as Math A for students good in math and Math Plus for those who need improvement. He said the school took pride in being an excellent school for the sciences.

dont get me wrong here, you said real truth, tanong ko lang, reliable ba source mo nyan? fyi dati ng gumamit ng porta cabin ang psd sa old site nila in al sadd at di nagkaproblema yun sa pagkakaalam ko. sa new location tanong ko ulit sayo nakita at napasok mo naba ang sinasabi mong porta cabin? di po sya gaya ng dati for short di sya porta cabin. lets just give the benifit of the doubt sa mga naglalakad ng papeles nito para maayos na ang lahat. we have only 2 phil. school here in doha kaya dapat suportahan natin ito para mag-improved in the near future

 

nicaq25's picture

nicaq25 said nakakalungkot isipin ...

mga kabayan, na mismo Pilipino ang bumabatikos sa sariling paaralan na dadalawa lang nga dito sa Qatar. Yung iba, di alam ang puno't dulo ng kwento bakit nagkaaberya ang pag-start ng pasukan, panay komentaryo, hindi na nga nakakatulong sa school, naninira pa. At isa pa, they never get involved in school events or activities, not even attended the meetings!
Kami, hindi naman katagalan sa PSD, 2 anak nagtapos ng high-school na dyan, may isa pang naiwan (Grade 6). According to the pioneers of this school, yung mga kababayan nating naunang nagpunta dito sa Qatar at nakapagtrabaho sa mga gas companies, Hamad at ibang government instittutions, sila ang nagsimula magtatag ng ewskelahang ito, na ang layunin ay makasama ang mga anak o pamilya nila habang andito sila. Dahil sila daw ay kakaunti lamang, they rented a porta cabin, requested some teachers from Philippines thru DECS. It was only from NKP up to Grade 6. Of course, the numbers of Filipino expatriates were growing. They needed more rooms, so another porta cabins were added, more teachers & staffs were hired for the services. Ang pambayad sa mga ito ay galing sa tuition fees ng mga parents na gustong magpa-enrol ng mga anak nila dun. Dahil sa parami ng parami daw ang parating na mga pinoy na nagdadala ng pamilya nila dito at yung mga naka graduate sa elementary ay ayaw pauwiin ng mga magulang sa Pinas, they decided again to set-up a High school department. Those times wala pa ang PISQ, now PSD is runing 17 years in operation here in DOha, serving the Filipino expatriates' children, our children. PISQ is only running 9 years as of this year. Ano kaya ang mangyari, if when those times, you tried to enrol your child and the PSD refused to accept your kid kasi wla na nga silang bakanteng upuan, etc? (kaya January pa lng, magpapareserba ka na).
Ngayon, sa layuning makatulong para e-accommodate ang 2,000+ children na mga anak ng Filipino expatriates dito, they upgraded their school and made it more presentable kasi nga, yung ibang parents, nagrereklamo na 'ganito daw ka laki bayad nila, porta cabin lang pala rooms ng anak nila?'. Beside, the old location (Al Sadd) of the school is not suitable for these numbers of students. And so they transferred to a new location (Madinat).
At common sense, the building construction will not commence unless you have permit. Ang laki ng construction na yan, alangang hindi mapansin yun ng baladiya di ba? So, during the meeting nga, nag-explain ang principal bakit nagkaaberya ang opening ng class. I have known some people helping the school facilitating some papers to make it more 'legal'. If you were not there during the meeting, and want to dig more the reasons behind, I suggest you have to meet them (principal/administrator/BOT), so that you get the facts straight from the concern people.

NOTE: The history of PSD, is being told again & again by some pioneers in BOT during the General PTA meetings.

jmacs said Sinungaling! ...

Woow! These ‘pioneers’ you talk about really got you hook, line and sinker. Hindi ako katagalan sa Qatar pero and I can tell you, HINDI ang mga ‘pioneers’ na tinutukoy mo ang nagtayo ng PSD kundi mga opisyal ng embahada. Dito pa lang pinagsinungalingan ka na ng mga ‘pioneer’ idols mo. Paano mo pa mapapaniwalaan yung ‘history’ ng PSD na galing sa kanila (version nila, iaangkop nila sa pangangailangan nila)?

 

nicaq25's picture

nicaq25 said jmacs, ...

you can share you own version of the PSD history if you want. If you don't mind, you can correct anyone of us not telling the truth here but at least can you point out some reliable source so that we might not be confused? And the pioneers were not my idols, in fact I don't know some of them personally. I just heard this story during the General meetings. If I forgot to mention the role of Phil. embassy here perhaps not deliberately.
Kung gusto mong mai-share ang totoong kwento ng PSD, go ahead as long as it is supported with facts, we don't mind. But don't just barge in with this word 'sinunggaling'. That's not fair, ako's isang parent lang na hindi naman member ng kung anong kataas-taasang organization sa PSD and I deserve to know too.

jmacs said For nicaq25 ...

The embassy may not be popular with some kabayans, but let’s give credit where credit is due. PSD was put up and registered by embassy officials. They are the founders and pioneers. Anyone who claims otherwise is sinungaling. Need a source? Ask your 'pioneers'. Not all of them are hardcore liars.

nicaq25 said for jmacs - ...

The main concern of parents is why the delay of class opening. I'm consistent with my statement here as to why the delay as per my info during the meeting, if that still doesn't convince you or some of the parents, I can't help it. The brief history of PSD was based on my info during PTA meeting & I stated one source here. Your comments seems to contain some personal reasons as to alleging some pioneers were 'hard core liars'. Don't you think that's a strong word to say? No offense but, you're speculating not pointing some facts here. Well, I am not pro nor against PSD but you might as well get clear with your facts so as not to offend other people.If you know about PSD more than the founders then share it.

 

hawker's picture

hawker said for everyones info, some ...

for everyones info, some facts about PSD

- it was founded on Oct 1992 by the members of the Filipino community under the auspices of the Philippine Embassy.

- the Philippines DECS granted PSD permit to operate on 06 Mar 1997 per gov't permit no. 002 s.1997

- only on 01 Feb 2000, it was granted by DECS Gov't Recognition No. 001 s.2000.

- PSD is governed by Amiri Ordinance No. 7 of the year 1980 regarding organization of private schools in the State of Qatar. under the said ordinance, PSD was given permission by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education to operate as a private school of the Filipino Community in Qatar, under the "PATRONAGE" of the Philippines Embassy in Doha.

** take note our host country used the word PATRONAGE and not sponsor!

ako_pinoy's picture

ako_pinoy said i am not a parent from PSD ...

i may not be a parent of PSD..nor from other schools...but i have some infos regarding this based from the Ministry of Education here in Qatar. For years, since the Al Saad days, PSD had been warned by the Ministry of using the porta cabins. As a matter of fact, the principals of expatriate schools here in Doha have regular meetings and the PSD principal is aware of this. Well, not only PSD has been declined by the ministry but also other schools who are using porta cabins(Bangladish and Indian schools). Unfortunately, they still went on using the porta while the other schools had relocated and stopped using porta cabins.so now is the problem.
my concern goes to the children who are studying in PSD. Ako may anak rin sa Pilipinas at ang pagkaka alam ko eh malapit na ang kanilang mga exams habang ang sila dito eh hindi pa nakastart(grade 4-3rd year High SChool). the best thing that we can do here I suppose is to look for a solution to this at hindi yung pakikipag away sa kapwa natin Pilipino. the damage has been done.well even sad to say: the trust of the PSD parents i guess..but still, we have to look at our children who suffered from this.

jmacs said Clear Facts ...

Didnt wanna 'talk' till i had a closer and repeated reading of PSD Inc. papers myself. i am told these are the same corporation documents that your 'pioneers' and Mr. Acosta have.

Now this is FACT and this is CLEAR from the documents: the PSD was founded by 5 embassy officials (full names and amount of money contributed in QR/US$ clearly stated).

now hear this: the whole document never mentioned "Filipino community". Saying therefore that the school was founded by the members of the Filipino community under the auspices of the Philippine Embassy is just not correct. Kasinungalingan, right?

Dont get me wrong guys. Just correcting wrong information being routinely fed by school officers (unfortunately). I think that helps.

Parents concern, kindly pass the info to other parents on waiting.
