Leaders of UAE's education landscape

Education in the UAE continues to evolve and adapts diverse methodologies to integrate the best learning system to its students. Khaleej Times has compiled quotes from principals of distinguished schools across the UAE about its rich diaspora, qualified educators, and strong international standards, alongside advice for students: 
Fatma Belrehif
Executive Director of Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau
"The number of Indian curriculum schools in Dubai has increased over the years to meet the growing educational needs of Indian students and their families. This growth has been partly in response to the increase in demand from Indian families moving to Dubai. Parents have transient jobs and they may return to India and seek admission for their children in schools or to access university programmes in India and Indian curricular schools offer them the continuity."
 
Nargish Khambatta
Principal and CEO,
GEMS Modern Academy
"I've had different phases; I wanted to be a doctor, a policeman, a writer, and even get into the army. But, I found my calling in education when, in Grade 9, I explained Julius Caesar to a friend, who was struggling to learn the history involved. She told me that she learnt it better interacting with me than during the classroom lessons." 
"Most people have entirely lost sight of ethics. Make sure your ethical button is always on."

Dr. Ashok Kumar
CEO, The Indian High School, Dubai 
"Today, a teacher who can accept change, unlearn and relearn - and in turn, get students to learn - is a true educator." 
"Sometimes, their role changes into a parent, a guide or a philosopher. The role of the teachers has been changing throughout time - what hasn't changed is the care that's felt towards a student."
"We are (also) moving towards an education system where the child decides what to learn and what is of interest."
