A record 1,550 educators are set to join GEMS schools across the UAE when the new academic year starts. Group CEO Dino Varkey announced this at an awareness event, noting that the school group received over half a million applications - slightly fewer than last year's 600,000+. Despite the substantial number of applicants, Varkey emphasized that the allure of Dubai and the UAE as destinations for teachers remains strong.
The CEO added that GEMS' ambitious plans to support its teachers through artificial intelligence (AI) do not undermine the human connections that are crucial to learning. Lisa Crausby OBE, Chief Education Officer at GEMS Education, explained that the group intends to use AI to alleviate teachers' workload while preserving the personal relationships that form the foundation of education.
The company is committed to providing continuous professional development, including on-the-job coaching, to ensure that every teacher can thrive in their new roles.
