Sheikh Hamdan praised teachers for their unwavering dedication, integrity, and role in instilling patriotism, belonging, and authentic Emirati values in future generations. He also commended the contributions of retired Emirati educators, highlighting their lifelong dedication to shaping generations of leaders who continue to serve the UAE across various sectors.
'Our goal is to empower Emirati teachers as the backbone of our education system, placing full confidence in their ability to uphold this national responsibility. We fully support every Emirati teacher devoted to shaping young minds with dedication and integrity and nurturing a generation that reflects our nation's aspirations. I have directed the Knowledge and Human Development Authority to enhance support for Emirati teachers in the private sector and address any challenges they may encounter,' he stated.
During the event, Sheikh Hamdan discussed the future of education with the attendees, and the transformations needed to meet Dubai's development goals.

To further empower Emirati educators, he announced the launch of 'Inspiration Talks', a new platform for discussion and collaboration between educators in Dubai.
Led by KHDA, the initiative aims to enhance the skills of Emirati teachers in the private education sector, ensuring they play a greater role in shaping future generations. The initiative will support the professional growth of Emirati educators and encourage greater Emirati representation in leadership positions within the education sector.
As part of the initiative, KHDA will work closely with private schools and early childhood centres to develop a training programme to support the career progression of Emirati teachers. Additionally, a mentorship programme will pair Emirati teachers with retired Emirati educators who will provide them with guidance, professional support, and opportunities for growth.
The educators expressed their gratitude to Sheikh Hamdan for his continued support of the teaching profession and his commitment to fostering an education system that nurtures and attracts top talent. They pledged their support to shape future generations of Emiratis who will uphold the UAE's legacy of excellence and progress.
