Higher Education participates in a program to attract students of educational specialties

The "Ministry of Higher Education And Scientific Research” is participating in a program to attract high school students to study educational specialties which was recently launched by the "Emirates College for Advanced Education”, in order to place them in the educational field through a series of field visits to a number of schools in the State aimed at introducing students to the teacher's role which is essential to the prosperity of communities, and the program continues until next May.

The teaching profession in the UAE is witnessing reluctance of citizens for joining, and the unwillingness of students to attend colleges of education with the Emiratisation ratio in the education sector reaching (10%), which constitutes a danger to the future of education sector.

Dr. "Mona Al Bahr" president of the “Committee on education, youth, media and culture” said earlier: "the problem of localization of education is divided into two sections, one for females, which is that a large segment of citizens do not wish to enter their daughters in that profession, because the salary is not commensurate with the burdens of teachers, the other part is that the overall financial allocations, do not meet the ambitious of the young compared to their peers in other government jobs, whether  in financial issues or career growth and progression, which requires improvement of teachers situations and the Emiratisation of the profession, given its dimensions on national security.

"Higher Education" is participating in this campaign, to contribute to the realization of the national educational goals, and enhance the educational process in the State generally, so that students enroll in colleges that give them greater opportunities for education and training, according to the latest global means, and the best opportunities to get a job in State schools, to contribute with their part in building the future of the State.
