UAE leaders and top officials on Tuesday joined the community in paying tribute to the country’s teachers for their incredible effort, especially when the Covid-19 pandemic swept the world and impacted the education landscape.
On World Teachers’ Day, communities across the globe recognised how these ‘superheroes’ ensured that students continued learning as distance education became the norm.
His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, took to Twitter to express his appreciation.

Last year, remote and hybrid modes of learning had to be adjusted quickly. Teachers had to adapt to new ways of delivering their lessons and communicating with their students, parents and colleagues.
Hailing teachers’ hard work, Dr Abdulla Al Karam, director-general of the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), said: “Teachers in Dubai give our children selfless care every day. They are at the heart of our school community. We thank each and every one of the 20,000 teachers in Dubai. It’s your love for your work and our children that is helping shape the future of the youth and of Dubai.”
