Sorry to tell you, but not the whole text is visible in the forum - probably a bit too long or wide, so it �s a bit difficult to follow.
Btw, there �s a difference between a friend and a colleague - a friend would tell you what �s wrong and help you fix it, not just criticise....
I really have to go now, but I �m sure some people will help you, just try to edit your post by perhaps using a bit more interpunction or moving some thing into new lines. It �s so pasted together, that it �s really difficult to read.
All the best

Firstly, translation is a very different skill from teaching so your friend shouldn �t judge one on the strength of another.
Of course there are a number of mistakes in your translation but I would classify them as non-impeding errors - I can easily understand what you are trying to say!
Honestly - with friends like that, who needs enemies? He �s not childish, he �s just plain mean!
Keep smiling and don �t let him get you down!

Here �s an improved translation if it helps:
Vision

rich cultural background, life-long belief in on-going learning, a
well-rounded personality and the ability to think creatively and solve
problems in accordance with Islamic ideals. They will have real national
pride and an awareness of the importance of contributing positively to
the society around them.
Mission
Our school �s mission is one of providing an exemplary educational
programme so that students may acquire the necessary academic, personal,
social and spiritual skils to enable them to continue their studies at
university or successfully enter the competetive job market. We also
encourage the development of critical thinking skills and instill

Again - don �t worry about what your friend says!
