What are the schools in Atyrau like?
When we asked about the schools in Atyrau, they said...
"I'm pretty satisfied and my child seems to be happy :) It's all about your expectation in education," remarked one expat living in Atyrau with children attending QSI School Atyrau.
"Not good for High School and teenagers as curriculum, class sizes and teaching too restrictive and narrow. If checking out lower school, ask for proof of teaching credentials and language support given to non-English speakers in the classroom. Check out the standard of English of teachers in lower school and also those of classroom assistants. Talk to other parents on a pre-assignment trip.The school is not value for money and unaffordable unless a company picks up the tab for tuition. Ask for a copy of the school handbook Ask about staff turnover and religious affiliation. Look closely at textbooks and the so-called 'Mastery' learning system where students can only get an A or a B grade," said one expat in Atyrau with children at QSI Atyrau.
