Nothing’s better than being recognized publicly for your effort from your boss, especially when your boss is H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
His Highness was impressed by Jamela Muhairi, the State Minister for Public Education, for her proposal to overhaul the UAE’s public school system and make education bilingual. After his visit to the Ministry of Education, he displayed his gratitude on Facebook to congratulate her for her dedication and work ethic as she was on time for her meeting despite having a baby only three weeks ago.
“I was surprised by her presence on the field,” Sheikh Mohammed said about the new mom. The reason for Sheikh Mohammed’s visit was to approve a plan introduced by Muhairi for public schools as well as expanding research and development in education in the UAE. The new curriculum proposed will cover technology, innovative design, health sciences, career guidance, general skills and business management. Also, a special elite stream will also be introduced to nurture gifted students. A training center will also be established to ensure the development of teachers’ skills in line with international standards.
“We are counting on the teachers and the Ministry of Education to help school education make a great leap forward,” said Sheikh Mohammed. “There is no room for excuses. We look forward to developing a new generation of students equipped to use the tools of the future.”
WE SAID THIS: This public display of gratitude came one day after Sheikh Mohammed was left seriously annoyed when a surprise spot visit in government offices saw him faced with empty desks.
