Dubai has announced golden visas for teachers making valuable contributions to the private sector education sector.
Dubai’s Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum made this announcement in a post shared on micro-blogging site X (former Twitter) on Saturday. He is also Dubai’s Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of the Executive Council.
In the said post shared on World Teachers’ Day, he expressed gratitude for teachers’ efforts in nurturing students.
“On World Teachers’ Day, we issued directives to grant the Golden Visa to educators who have made outstanding contributions to Dubai’s private education sector”, the post reads.
“We deeply appreciate your efforts in nurturing young minds and instilling the values that will build tomorrow’s leaders. You are key partners in shaping Dubai’s future and in achieving the visionary goals of the Education Strategy E33,” the post further reads.
Earlier, President Sheikh Mohamed praised the work of educators and thanked them for their dedicated service to the nation.
In a post on X, he said that teachers have played a very significant role in moulding generations and inspiring young minds.
According to media reports, the Golden Visa is granted to outstanding educators working in early childhood centres, private schools, and international higher education institutions. This recognition is based on their academic excellence, contributions to improving education quality, positive feedback from the educational community, and their efforts in helping students achieve better academic outcomes and accredited graduation qualifications.
Through this new initiative, Dubai aims to attract talented educators to the emirate, encouraging them to contribute to a bright future for education in the city. It aligns with the Dubai Education Strategy for the next decade, focusing on bringing in exceptional teachers who are passionate about promoting lifelong learning.
