Connection of school professions license system with Emirates ID extended till October 18th

The Ministry of Education (MoE) has announced that connecting the school professions license system with the Emirates ID for educational staff has been extended until October 18th as part of a step by the MoE to facilitate the registration of teachers in the specialized and professional tests and ensure data of applicants is verified as part of issuing licenses. Early last month, the MoE called on school administrations to facilitate the completion of the connection by appointing co-ordinators to complete the teachers’ procedures easily and smoothly.

The MoE indicated that the procedure for linking the school professions license system with the Emirates ID aims at facilitating the registration of teachers in the professional licensing system and easing contact with them to perform the tests at the specified times set by the MoE, thereby helping the educational staff obtain the teacher’s license.

The MoE stressed again the importance for teachers to obtain a teacher’s license, which is considered as a condition for practicing the teaching profession due to its role in developing and improving the outputs of quality education and upgrading the competencies of those working in the educational sector based on global best practices.

The professional licensing process targets teachers, school leaders and those engaged in other school professions on several different stages. Passing the tests assigned to each category and applying for equivalency or attestation of academic qualifications is one of the requirements needed for obtaining an approved professional license.

Meanwhile, the MoE announced the dates for the teacher’s license exams during the current month of October. The exams will be held on October 10th and 17th and registration for them has already been closed. Next month’s exams will be held on November 14th and 28th, the MoE said.
