Dubai has introduced a groundbreaking initiative granting Golden Visas to exceptional private school teachers in a bid to honor their contributions to the education sector. Announced by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed on World Teachers’ Day, this move is aligned with the UAE’s broader commitment to human capital development and the recently launched Education 33 strategy.
Educators who have significantly impacted student success and enhanced Dubai’s educational quality will be eligible. The initiative aims to attract global talent to the emirate, positioning it among the top educational cities worldwide.
The Golden Visa offers long-term residency to educators working in private early childhood centers, schools, and higher education institutions, recognizing their vital role in shaping future leaders. Dubai’s leadership acknowledges teachers as the cornerstone of social and educational growth, furthering the emirate’s commitment to fostering curiosity, innovation, and lifelong learning.
This new policy also aligns with Dubai’s Social Agenda 33, aimed at improving human capital through education. By granting Golden Visas, Dubai enhances its appeal to top-tier educators, creating an educational system prepared to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
The UAE also established February 28 as Emirati Education Day to celebrate contributions across the sector, a testament to the nation’s respect and appreciation for teachers’ educational and humanitarian roles.
