UAE wins place on Unesco executive board



DUBAI // The UAE has won a seat on the executive board of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco), placing it among major international decision makers.

"It is a seat at the most senior position on Unesco that comes with privileges, influence and responsibility," said Dr Christina Gitsaki, the Unesco chair of applied research in education at Sharjah Higher Colleges of Technology.

The UAE is one of the 31 new members elected to the 58-member executive board by Unesco's member states, which are attending the 36th session of the general conference.

The conference, in Paris, began on October 25 and continues until November 10.

"The win is a testament to the international efforts of the UAE in various areas: in research and innovation; in renewable energy; in education and trying out different models of schooling; in humanitarian efforts; and its accomplishments within the heritage and culture domains as well," Dr Gitsaki said.

Unesco's mission is "to contribute to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information," according to its website.

This past June, Al Ain was the first UAE location to be selected as a world heritage site on Unesco's prestigious list, which includes Egypt's pyramids and India's Taj Mahal.

Sharjah officials will also submit a file to Unesco on Sharjah's heritage area as a possible world heritage site next year. Unesco named Sharjah the Cultural Capital of the Arab World for 1998.

In 2010, the UAE and 11 other countries had falconry recognised by Unesco as an example of intangible cultural heritage.

The UAE's membership on Unesco's executive board can also help efforts to name Bu Tinah, a small archipelago off Abu Dhabi, as one of the world's "New Seven Wonders of Nature".

"Unesco is very active, and does a lot of work in underprivileged countries," Dr Gitsaki said. "UAE can now help highlight issues in the region that previously didn't get any attention."

The Minister of Education Humaid Mohammed Obaid Al Qattami, who headed the UAE delegation to the conference, said the UAE received 144 votes out of total 186, topping the Arab Group in the organisation, which competed for three seats in the board.
The other two winning Arab countries were Saudi Arabia and Tunis.

States are elected to the executive board for a term of four years, and the board meets twice a year to examine the execution of the programmes adopted by the general conference.

In a statement released on the state news agency Wam, Mr Al Qattami said the win reflected the huge respect the UAE enjoys worldwide, and the prominent role it plays in serving global issues, particularly in the humanitarian arenas.

"This win is a translation to the progress and prosperity witnessed in all walks of life in the UAE, thanks to our wise leadership," he said.

School counsellors on mental well-being

Schools counsellors in Abu Dhabi have put a number of provisions in place to help support pupils returning to the classroom next week.

Many children will resume in-person lessons for the first time in 10 months and parents previously raised concerns about the long-term effects of distance learning.

Schools leaders and counsellors said extra support will be offered to anyone that needs it. Additionally, heads of years will be on hand to offer advice or coping mechanisms to ease any concerns.

“Anxiety this time round has really spiralled, more so than from the first lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic,” said Priya Mitchell, counsellor at The British School Al Khubairat in Abu Dhabi.

“Some have got used to being at home don’t want to go back, while others are desperate to get back.

“We have seen an increase in depressive symptoms, especially with older pupils, and self-harm is starting younger.

“It is worrying and has taught us how important it is that we prioritise mental well-being.”

Ms Mitchell said she was liaising more with heads of year so they can support and offer advice to pupils if the demand is there.

The school will also carry out mental well-being checks so they can pick up on any behavioural patterns and put interventions in place to help pupils.

At Raha International School, the well-being team has provided parents with assessment surveys to see how they can support students at home to transition back to school.

“They have created a Well-being Resource Bank that parents have access to on information on various domains of mental health for students and families,” a team member said.

“Our pastoral team have been working with students to help ease the transition and reduce anxiety that [pupils] may experience after some have been nearly a year off campus.

"Special secondary tutorial classes have also focused on preparing students for their return; going over new guidelines, expectations and daily schedules.”

Teachers' pay - what you need to know

Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:

- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools

- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say

- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance

- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs

- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills

- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month

- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues
