Good day

I am a South African teaching in SA just returned from UK. (I was teaching there)
I want to get info on teaching in Dubai. Like; how are the schools compared to the UK (discipline), accommodation, and transport? And if there is anything that I should be careful of before applying. I received an offer of 13000dhs to start Sep 2007 but I just came back from UK and could arrive in Dubai on time.

Will I be able to go for a few years and safe sum money? I saved about 700 pound a month in the UK.

If there are people willing to answer my question I will appreciate it very much especially South African working there.

On a salary of 13,000 AED a month, and assuming housing is provided or paid for by the school, you can easily save anywhere between 7,000 and 10,000 a month, or about GBP 1,000 to 1,300 a month, depending on your lifestyle and how frequently you want to do international travel every year.

It was a secondary school. I am a math teacher and was going to teach maths for year 7 - 9.
