300 new Emirati teachers to start at public schools in Abu Dhabi



More than 300 new Emirati teachers are to bolster public school education in Abu Dhabi.

The new batch of 302 university graduates will take up their teaching posts under ongoing plans to increase the number of Emirati staff in the education sector.

Recruitment plans are in line with the nation’s Emiratisation process, and will see the total number of local teachers working at Abu Dhabi Education Council schools swell to 52 per cent.

News of an additional 302 teachers comes a day after Adec announced the recruitment of close to 900 new teachers to work in the capital.

An orientation session has been held for the new recruits ahead of the academic year, to familiarise them on the assessment process, requirements, overall curriculum and educational processes.

“Investment in education and knowledge is an investment for shaping the future and helping future generations face the current challenges,” said Dr Ali Al Nuaimi, Adec’s director general.

“Through proceeding with the nation’s development and prosperity, our wise leadership is keen to support Emirati teachers in all aspects so that they are able to perform their mission.”

Dr Al Nuaimi labelled the newly appointed teachers as a new generation of professionally qualified pioneers who will play a key role in educating future generations.

“Our leaders are keen to invest in teachers and provide them with the tools and skills needed to succeed in performing their duties,” he said.

“Adec's teachers should excel in teaching, be creative and innovative, enhance education and promote values of loyalty and citizenship among students.

“We count on them to achieve a great leap in education as they are key players in the overall development. With their efforts, I am sure better learning outcomes will be achieved.”

Adec has prioritised strengthening integration, cooperation and dialogue between the newly appointed teachers and their education leaders.

One of those new recruits, Arabic teacher Salem Hussain Al Yafie, is looking forward to his new role in helping shape the next generation.

“My mission will be to help students chose a better future,” he said. “I chose the profession of education because it is a noble profession that contributes to building generations capable of preserving the country's achievements and pioneering status.”

Another new recruit, a geology teacher, Yusuf Mohammed Al Junibi, said he preferred to join the education sector rather than working as a geologist, even though it’s a pay cut, as he wanted to help build his community.

You may remember …

Robbie Keane (Atletico de Kolkata) The Irish striker is, along with his former Spurs teammate Dimitar Berbatov, the headline figure in this season’s ISL, having joined defending champions ATK. His grand entrance after arrival from Major League Soccer in the US will be delayed by three games, though, due to a knee injury.

Dimitar Berbatov (Kerala Blasters) Word has it that Rene Meulensteen, the Kerala manager, plans to deploy his Bulgarian star in central midfield. The idea of Berbatov as an all-action, box-to-box midfielder, might jar with Spurs and Manchester United supporters, who more likely recall an always-languid, often-lazy striker.

Wes Brown (Kerala Blasters) Revived his playing career last season to help out at Blackburn Rovers, where he was also a coach. Since then, the 23-cap England centre back, who is now 38, has been reunited with the former Manchester United assistant coach Meulensteen, after signing for Kerala.

Andre Bikey (Jamshedpur) The Cameroonian defender is onto the 17th club of a career has taken him to Spain, Portugal, Russia, the UK, Greece, and now India. He is still only 32, so there is plenty of time to add to that tally, too. Scored goals against Liverpool and Chelsea during his time with Reading in England.

Emiliano Alfaro (Pune City) The Uruguayan striker has played for Liverpool – the Montevideo one, rather than the better-known side in England – and Lazio in Italy. He was prolific for a season at Al Wasl in the Arabian Gulf League in 2012/13. He returned for one season with Fujairah, whom he left to join Pune.
