The Government of Dubai announced Golden Visas will now be offered to educators working in private schools, nurseries, and universities in the emirate.
"This initiative recognises educators who have demonstrated excellence, innovation, and a deep commitment to shaping the future of Dubai through education. The Golden Visa reflects the emirate’s dedication to fostering talent, investing in human capital, and celebrating the educators who inspire and empower future generations," the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) said.
The announcement coincided with World Teachers' Day on Saturday. Several UAE leaders expressed their gratitude for educators and their imperative role in nurturing the next generation.
The UAE had declared February 28 as Emirati Day for Education last week, marking the graduation of the first group of teachers from the United Arab Emirates University in 1982, an event attended by the UAE’s Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, alongside other Rulers of the Emirates.
Details regarding eligibility for the visa can be found on the KHDA website, some of which include educators who have demonstrated exceptional academic achievements, proven success in raising the quality of education, and created a positive impact for the wider educational community.
