These scholarships are part of a broader initiative involving 187 educational scholarships, previously announced by the Academy in February 2025, aimed at empowering classroom assistants seeking to advance their careers in early childhood education. This initiative is part of a strategic partnership between SEA and Invest bank, which was officially launched during the 4th Sharjah International Summit on Improvement in Education. The partnership underscores Invest bank's commitment to supporting the development of education in the UAE and the wider region, with a particular focus on early childhood education, which is recognised as the cornerstone for building future generations. The programme, accredited by the National Qualification Center (NQC), is designed to equip teaching assistants with cutting-edge pedagogical knowledge, skills, and practice. It emphasises the development of innovative Arabic language teaching methods, the reinforcement of national identity, the alignment of curricula with the UAE's values and vision for early childhood education, and the establishment of professional learning communities connecting educators and stakeholders in the sector. Developed in collaboration with the University of Helsinki HY+, the programme draws on the latest scientific research in early childhood pedagogy. It offers a robust combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on training, enabling participants to develop 21st-century teaching skills.
