The Dubai Schools Agency initiative to invest in the teaching career enters its second year as candidates begin their course work today.
The ‘Teach in Dubai’ initiative is in partnership with the British University in Dubai (BUiD), where selected candidates will receive a Professional Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE) at the end of the nine month course.
The ‘Teach in Dubai’ initiative is the first in the series of initiatives to change attitudes towards the teaching profession.
An agency of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), the Dubai Schools Agency is offering the joint scholarship programme from the Birmingham University in the UK, in association with BUiD for up to 20 candidates. Every candidate receives tuition fees, a study allowance, and a guaranteed teaching postion in Dubai after they successfully complete the programme. Candidates will also get school teaching experiences as part of the course work.
Fatma Al Marri, CEO of the Schools Agency says, “As one of initiatives to invest in the teaching career, I look forward to seeing these candidates entering the teaching profession and making a difference to the school system. Teaching as a profession and a career choice is often overlooked and we hope to changes people’s attitudes about it.”
The nine-month course will be end in May after which candidates will be offered jobs in Dubai’s schools. |
