The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a proud nation. It leads the Gulf States due to its size, its great oil wealth and the importance of its religious sites. This is a fast-growing area attracting many teachers to established and new private schools.
Working in Saudi provides good pay, allowing you to build up your savings, without the temptation of expensive retail goods and the social opportunities of nearby neighbouring countries.
Management practices on-the-ground and in schools have been very variable. You could get lucky and find generous employment, a good workload, sympathetic management and engaged students. Or you might find an environment of poor leadership and communication, where students and parents exert too much influence in areas like assessment.
