Teacher Assistant - Kalba/Dibba, Fujairah

Taaleem requires qualified Teacher Assistants for a new public-private partnership elementary school in Kalba/ Dibba, Fujairah, scheduled to open in August 2023.

As a leading education provider in the Middle East, Taaleem is continuing to support the UAE Vision and National Agenda 2021, establishing a unique partnership between the government and the private sectors. We currently manage and operate a number of private-public partnership schools in the UAE, with the aim of raising the quality of education; playing a significant role in shaping the present and future lives of Emirati youth. 

In August 2022, Taaleem were awarded four Emirates Schools Establishment campuses located in Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al Khaimah and Fujairah. This exciting project is the newest addition to an already successful partnership with the UAE Government, expanding Taaleem's portfolio of private-sector-run government schools into the Northern Emirates of the UAE.
