Teaching and Education Jobs in Dubai
Dubai is an International City with International Education
Education has a high value in Dubai and therefore teaching represents a highly revered profession. According to the latest available information, there are over 210 private and public schools in Dubai. The vast majority of the private schools are concentrated in expatriate communities, providing education for the large and growing expatriate population. With the increase in the overall population in Dubai and the consequent opening of a large number of schools, well-paid teaching jobs have become abundant. Instruction in public schools is held in Arabic, with an emphasis on English as a second language. In private schools, it is the other way around.
For most jobs in this field, Bachelor’s degree is a minimum necessary requirement, usually for primary school providers. At the secondary and tertiary level, the vast majority of professional jobs requires post-graduate education as well as specialization in a particular field. For language teachers, a certificate course in the taught language is required. Salary is usually commensurate with the qualification and professional experience of the candidate. Many international and high-profile universities and research centers have recently opened in Dubai, boosting demand for international staff.
