I worked for an agency (QEC) rather than the uni itself and another agency (ICEAT) also hire for KSU. The staff numbers are always below par because teachers keep quitting - which means more work for those teachers who remain. I quit in Jan 2019 after a month. My first pay packet was short by SAR1,000 and despite my protests to QEC they ignored me, adding insult to financial injury. An admin error (I should have been on MA wages but they paid me the wages of a BA) might have been forgivable but their attitude was the final straw for me.

He was told by QEC 'no' that this was haram but could be reviewed after 2 years of service. Living outside QEC lodgings was only for 'families' - it was his brother! Apparently that doesn't count. Last month I got an email from another colleague who joined with me. He only said he was thinking of quitting because it was all getting too 'dodgy' - he didn't elaborate....Read More

I wasn't there long enough to judge. Classes 100 minutes. Hours per week depends how many teachers the agencies have pressganged into working there. Apparently less hours the first semester in the calendar year. Quiz interviewers closely on this when you
