desperate
Posted by gamby at 22:29 UAE time

GEMS
Posted by Amuse_d at 12:48 UAE time
While the Gems tumble form the mouth of those who believe they are right, Omar, you must realise that the people who are directing barbs at them are probably the ones who love dubai most- as everyone knows the unncessary and unrealistic statements hurt the very industry/state/country that they talk about in such ridiculous terms.

Why do not you leave us alone?!
Posted by Omar at 12:35 UAE time
Mr. Bewildered, UAE is not second to none and your country is the best. Why do not you leave us alone here. Just leave! Whoever thinks he is greater than UAE, just leave to wherever you think you are suitable for. go to your better land. UAE does not need you. Foreigners go, foreigners come, but UAE remains as it's. It does not wait for your planning. they can surely plan their life without you and your thoughts.

GEMS Enrolment
Posted by BD at 07:15 UAE time
Although common sense would dictate that GEMS is not experiencing an enrollment increase, who knows maybe its possible - who cares anyway, that jiberish should only be background noise to anyone sensible. However to deny that Dubai is experiencing a very significant exodus of the expat population driven by the severe decline in the local economy, particularly real estate and construction is to be totally ignorant of the obvious reality. One only has to look around to see that roads are much emptier, rents are finally falling, real estate prices are still falling, vehicles are available at bargain prices, almost all companies in the real estate & construction sector are down 50-75% from peak staffing levels (if they still remain solvent), I could go on and on. Why not aknowlege and accept the obvious and start to focus on how we can stabilize and then rebuild a sustainable Dubai ecomony for the long term, rather than another bubble economy.

Omar's comment
Posted by bewildered of dubai at 19:02 UAE time
well said Omar and credit to you for your faith. Just a little surprising that when you state "everybody is getting impressed by UAE bcz it's second to none," yours is the only comment supporting this position.

Whom do you want to believe?
Posted by Omar at 17:03 UAE time
I wonder why some people do not want to believe anybody:
They do not want to believe that :
1- Dubai airport is witnessing solid growth so are Emirates, Fly Dubai, Air Arabia, Etihad, Virgin Atlantic (different sources including audited figures from IATA & Sir Richard Brightson personally!).
2- Different sources, reports, figures that real estate market is on a solid path of growth!
3- GEMS, the world's largest private education provider, is confirming that they are witnessing solid growth.
4- Burjuman, MOE, Shayaa, etc.. that the retail market is steady!
5- Different banks including HSBC are advertising for easy loans programs!
6- Dubai's official bid for olympics
7- Abu Dhabi Formula 1
8- Paris Hilton program and other similar programs
and many other facts.
I am not going to argue anymore but please, i beg you to answer my previous question:
What are you still doing here if Dubai / UAE was not absolutely the best (better than so many places including your own countries)?
When you answer this question to yourself, then, your feedback will be logical.
Jealousy is beyond limits. Something for sure is that millions are enjoying UAE and love it very much including myself for a very simple reason: Had the undersigned found a better place, he would not have come here originally but UAE is the best. Better to say a big thank you for hosting us as guests on their soil while our countries failed to give us anything better!
Life goes on and everybody is getting impressed by UAE bcz it's second to none.

Tractor production
Posted by Mike D at 16:58 UAE time
Yeah, right GEMS. This reminds me of the Stalin era version of PR from the 1930s USSR: "Bumper potato harvest, tractor production up 200%"; meanwhile, the population starved. Do you really think we were all born yesterday? I could never send my child to a school that talked to me as if I were and idiot.

Hello GEMS? Is It an Ad Campaign?
Posted by Godfather at 15:52 UAE time
The facts and figures about the School Transfers of students are a known to facts to the public.. Hey Gems Guy.. U can show off any figures.. as it is not audited by any BPA's or any authorities of that kind.. Try to give some affordable solutions for education for the children to achieve knowledge.. Instead of coming up with cheap ideas of increasing the Transportation fees by starting a new Transport company and using the same buses, Increasing the Tuition fees, terminating students who has failed to pay their dues.. Giving knowledge is divine.. and Ur not selling fish or meat..And Try to understand the ethics of Ur Service to the public..

GEMs
Posted by Joh at 14:45 UAE time
Why do they periodically give out such statements? People here know that there are many who have take TCs which help their kids in the next admission. Ofcourse, if there are families coming into Dubai, kids will need admission. However, if jobs are not so sttractive as before, why should people come? GEMs means Gather Extra Money.

enrolment figures up
Posted by bewildered of dubai at 14:04 UAE time
get that spokesman in a corner with a dunces cap on...Admittedly smart at extracting fees for "waiting lists" but certainly not transparent in attempts to fool potential paymasters. (Parents of school children.) You cant fool all the people all the time, or can you???

Gem of an article
Posted by OS at 12:50 UAE time
My wife taught in a GEMS school. I am told one of the schools is owed millions in upaid fees and has a number of children who taken their transfer certificates.
BTW, the schools have also received a notice from HR that Welcare and EDC will not offer discounts to the Asian staff and their dependents. Does this qualifies under RACISM ? I guess GEMS would get badly sued if they tried this in Europe or America.

ISS Worldwide Movers!
Posted by Jim at 12:29 UAE time
Did I get that right? So basically whereas the business has increased for removal companies everywhere, ISS are making like 6% of the moves compared to the same time last year!!! Are you sure ISS has not moved itself?

GEMS goes into the fudge business
Posted by Geriant at 10:23 UAE time
There is not a single fact in this story. GEMS makes claims that cannot be verified and also admits they don't really know what is going to happen. Go to the back of the class for talking too much!
