How would you rate British International School of Tunis (BIST)?
I worked here and the place is not a very good work place! A Teaching Assistant who had been at the school for a number of years was fired on the spot due to a parent complaint, which is absolutely disgusting!!! No protocol for dismissal of staff as the school has such a high turnover of staff with around 30 different teachers employed in one year is ludicrous! Staff get threats from management especially Teaching assistance as they are forced to work crazy hours (40+ hours) for around 1000TND per month which is roughly $500 a month pay compared to teachers which are on around 8500TND ($2500). Recently taken over by a so called education group name Britus whom are part of the group GFH Financial, previously known as Gulf Finance House whom only provide funding to the school in the form of a loan. Despite a $1b+ company owning the school they lack the basic resources such as paper, books, and learning resources. They even charge parents a fee for resources which aren't even provided. The website has photographs of previous head teachers and staff, some of which are very good teachers which put this school on the map for excellence! Now the school is just a tool for making money and not for the making a difference to your child's education! The sports department has a mini sports pitch which is approximately 30 meters in size total and they boast in there marketing that its cutting edge, which it is not and very difficult to actually teach in such a small space. Overall I would say avoid like the plague! Go to the American school it is by far the best school in Tunis!
Poor facilities and the good teachers leave very quickly. Consistently poor communication and management.
Poor facilities, dreadful behaviour management. Basic equipment like phonics readers unavailable- incredibly high staff turnover. Some teachers are good, but swiftly leave. Leadership does not have a grip and are dishonest with parents. Gamed last inspection by opting for compliance only.
An innovative school with teaching team focused on the well being of pupils . Inspected by british government and a Cambridge center of examination . A very good support and interaction with parents , as well
