The School of Research Science (SRS) Dubai
Reviews & Information

I really dislike SRS, most of the reasons being: The building, the education, the staff and the system itself. The building is nice from the outside, but when you enter the school it gets worse. The classrooms are messy all the time and it’s often the students fault. The bathrooms are horrible, they always smell bad, the cleaners are always on their phones, only 2-4 sinks work, the soap is so cheap and the most of the doors do not lock. The cafeteria is not acceptable, their food is very cheap quality but prices are too high. They serve the same food everyday and it contains so much oil it’s very unhealthy and unappetizing. The canteen doesn’t have many tables to sit at so most students have to sit outside in the heat and the sinks in the canteen don’t work. The uniform is horrible, it gets more expensive each year even though it doesn’t change, a simple white shirt is expensive. The quality of the uniforms are SO bad, one wash and they shrink, this is why most students buy their uniforms from ‘M&S’. Also they don’t have enough uniform for the whole school, the jackets haven’t been available since the beginning of the year and we’re 2 months in. The student ID issue is annoying, the IDs are used for the canteen and lockers, but sometimes the lockers don’t unlock with the card. Also when you put money in the card for the canteen, you can’t take some of it back out if you needed cash for the vending machine, which most of the time steals money. Another thing is that when you put money in the card sometimes it doesn’t work and you’re money is wasted. This takes me to the technology, the technology in SRS is very poor. Most of the time the WiFi never works, it’s always down and it delays the lessons. Computers always break down and the smart TV’s are old. Every time a teacher has an issue with a device, they have to call IT and they take a long time to fix the issue which delays the lessons. Most of the teachers are not qualified enough to teach. Some teachers are bad at explaining lessons which confuses students. Some teachers are unprofessional and the way they hire them doesn’t make sense. The students in SRS is one major reason my daughter wants to leave. The girls in school bully each other and the staff do nothing. Also the girls are treated unfairly compared to the boys, girls are not allowed to have a football pitch and the teachers treat each gender differently. The school rules don’t make sense, students are not allowed to have colorful items. The system to buy the uniform is bad, you have to stand in 4 lines just to buy a shirt. One last topic I want to talk about is when they have the inspectors come, the school changes completely. When there are no visitors, teachers are unprofessional, the school would feel very messy and the students wouldn’t be on their best behavior, but when we have visitors over, everything changes, the staff set an unrealistic example for the KHDA which is why the school is still considered “a good school”.
