Most teachers receive their education through a university degree program. <\/p>\n<p>For teachers in private schools, preprimary teachers are required to have a university degree, a diploma in education, or any equivalent qualification and a minimum of two years\u2019 experience in education. Primary teachers are required to have a university degree in teaching or primary education or any equivalent qualification and a minimum of two years\u2019 experience teaching at the primary level. Specialist teachers must be qualified in their subject area. Secondary teachers must have a university degree in the subject area they teach, such as mathematics or science.<\/p>\n<h3>Requirements for Ongoing Professional Development<\/h3>\n<p>Graduates of education colleges complete significant periods of practical experience as a fundamental part of their studies. At some colleges, students devote several weeks each semester to training in schools through a student teacher program, while other colleges allocate the final semester for this purpose. Graduates do not receive any further subject-based training once placed in a teaching position.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teachers, Teacher Education, and Professional Development Teacher Education Specific to Mathematics and Science For teachers in public schools, teacher education in Dubai follows the national model provided by the UAE Ministry of Education.
