Sixty teachers have resigned in the academic year 2013-14 in various private and public schools in Sharjah under the supervision of the Sharjah Education Zone. Fifty-four of these are women, while the rest are men.

Mona Shuhail, Deputy Director of the Sharjah Education Zone, said the number of resignation has dropped this year as compared to the previous years due to stability in the education sector. Reasons for resignations vary, she said. “Some resigned due to personal compulsions like raising a family, while some others found better placements. Some resigned after deciding to go back to their home countries.”

Shuhail explained that the Sharjah Education Zone has instructed government schools to submit resignations in February of each year so that the procedure of providing end of service benefits can be streamlined. Teachers cannot withdraw resignations after a month from its submission.

Shuhail explained that the education zone is making efforts to fill teacher vacancies in various schools.
