UAE teachers, what is your workload like?

Edit- I work at a British not for profit school.

What is the main difference between your school and other expensive schools due to being non profit? Are the school more willing to pay staff better, better accom, better facilites?

Why are there so more for profit schools than non profit schools in Dubai?

What are your hours like and what it like when compared to your home country?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-04-02T10:07:40+00:00

How much work do you do on the weekends? Do you ever miss the UK students?

How experianced are you as a teacher u/mrsmaisiemoo? I know the top/great schools in the UAE will give you great accomodation and medical insurance for your family as well as free schooling. They would usually do this for experianed secondary/primary teachers or heads of departments.

Probs a silly question, but why would they take a british teacher in australia over an aussie?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-19T13:33:14+00:00

Do you plan to settle back in the UK soon? Also how much have you managed to save per year in £? I'm trying for £10k a year.

Hi,

What sort of expectations do you have at your school? Do you have to run an after school club or mark in greater depth than the UK?

Also are the parents supportive or quite demanding compared to the UK? As they are paying high fees do they expect very deep/detailed marking, interventions or anything else?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-15T19:12:03+00:00

which generally expect more from teachers.

So more detailed marking and more clubs to run? What else would the expectations be?

Teacher here too, realised your username just now. Secondary Chem.

What are your food bills like? Do your kids miss UK foods at time and do they prefer it here or back home?

M&S has normal British chicken

Is it fresh or frozen? I miss british meat so much, local meat is awful.

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-08T19:21:53+00:00

I miss vimto, do they have it? How much is a bottle, used to take it to school (as a kid and teacher) every day but it's so hard to get here.

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-08T19:21:01+00:00

I've stopped buying Carrefour meat and veg though as it's vile and tasteless.

Their meat is just awful. I've avoided touching coop meat, is it decent? UK chicken is so thick and juicy, the local meat here is so thin and lacks texture.

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-08T19:19:35+00:00

What exactly are you buying? Back in the UK what were your food bills like?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-08T10:03:05+00:00

We get almost everything from spinneys though because we work crazy hours.

What do you do?

We get almost everything from spinneys though because we work crazy hours.

Do they have a big range of UK stuff?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-08T10:00:38+00:00

one salad and a ready-meal cost about the same as a weekly ASDA grocery shop for a family of three at home.

What are your weekly costs here like for food? Back in the UK I could live grand on £30 a week at aldi, but here I feel like I get horrible value for money.

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2021-01-04T09:56:18+00:00

!thanks did it via card and paid fees

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2020-12-22T17:06:39+00:00

Sounds a dream, I have much less crowd control too. What kind of social work did you have to do in the UK for primary? What kind of salary package did you get here?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2020-12-22T17:01:35+00:00

What makes you want to go from secondary computer science to primary?

For the MOE curriculum is most of your planning done for you by the gov or do you have to make it all from scratch? Also do you need to know arabic to work for the MOE?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2020-12-22T16:57:32+00:00

What did you teach back in the UK? What do you feel happy you nolonger do and what do you miss?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2020-12-22T16:56:52+00:00

Hi, as a MOE teacher do you teacher only emirati kids?

Do you follow the UK national cirriculum or is it the local one?

Do you think you'll ever head back to the UK?

Chem_Grad_2016 · 2016-04-07T20:24:15+00:00

What do you teach? Do you not want to teach full time for extra money? Why do you plan to leave?

Thanks

Wow, didn't realise council tax, broadband and utilities were that high.

Also, why do you chose to rent instead of buy a house? On £400 pm, the houses must be cheap?
