Abu Dhabi private schools will hire more than 2,000 UAE nationals into the teaching workforce over the next five years as part of the expanded Emiratisation policy outlined by the education regulatory body.
Making the announcement, Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) said several private education providers have already made recruitment commitments. Taaleem has committed to recruiting more than 200 Emirati educators, SABIS more than 150, GEMS Education more than 120, International Community Schools more than 77, and Liwa Education more than 61.
Launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) and Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (NAFIS), the policy will initially focus on Social Studies, Arabic, and Islamic Studies roles.
The policy builds on a previous agreement with Aldar Education that pledged to create more than 300 opportunities for Emirati educators.
Abu Dhabi has already established the Emirati Student Employment Contract programme to allow students to take up employment in private sector while receiving financial support, a monthly salary, pension registration, and practical on-the-job training.
