The need for more Emirati teachings is glaringly obvious, while the authorities' incentives to attract them are insufficient. I predict little change in the situation.

As long as education is considered a low status, low pay job, few locals will want to do it...

What a joke! ADEC is busy stuffing schools with imported native-English-speaker teachers, and has plans to expand that next year. Just where, exactly, are Emarati teachers going to find a job available?

There have been Emirati teachers in the grade schools, but they rebelled at being paid similarly to their other Arab colleagues and expected to work the same hours.

I imagine they also didn't like the flak they had to take from the parents of their compatriot students.

They were resigning in droves or requesting admin positions so they could get away from such drudge positions.

As for ADEC bringing in expat teachers, why not? The Emirati teachers left.
