I found an article related to this very topic here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It is about how there are many international schools in Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that have very high populations of Filipino students.<\/p>\n

Is it true that in most places in the world, where there are international schools, that there is many times a \u201cdominant\u201d culture group at each school?\u00a0 I know that when people talk about many schools in China, one of the first questions out of people\u2019s mouths is \u201cDo you have a lot of Korean students?\u201d\u00a0 It seems like there is a high number of Korean families living here in China that want to send their children to international schools to learn in English.\u00a0 Normally that wouldn\u2019t be a problem, but it seems to be creating one for the owners\/school boards.\u00a0 They even go as far as to limit the number of Korean students that they will allow in each classroom!\u00a0 It seems a bit of a touchy subject I think.\u00a0 Many international schools strive to have equal amounts of all their culture groups, not have one culture group ever dominate the school.\u00a0 But, that is not always possible in a specific city in the world.<\/p>\n

So, what about other areas of the world?\u00a0 Are there students from one culture group \u201ctaking-over\u201d certain international schools?<\/p>\n

International School Community would like to encourage its members to comment on this topic, especially providing some insight about how things are in the schools that they know about.<\/p>\n

I can honestly say that I did not realize that in Riyadh there was a huge population of Filipino students.\u00a0 Because of the high population of this specific culture group, according to the article, there seem to be a lot of people involved in decision-making based on this dominant group.\u00a0 The schools there are hiring specialized trainers to help the teachers that are working in those schools.\u00a0 The schools are also having to deal a lot with the national government of the home country to that group.<\/p>\n

The article also highlights how there is definitely a demand for teacher specializing in giving professional development in-service sessions to teachers at international schools.\u00a0 International School Community would like to talk more about this topic in a future entry on our blog, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
