Schools in Dubai have started to establish internal committees in order to evaluate the eligibility of the teachers for the Golden Visa Program, in line with the guidelines from the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).
In addition, schools have also been urged to ensure compliance with the needed requirements before submitting individual applications to KHDA through the e-Services system, VisaGuide.World reports.
In this regard, Sangita Chima, Amity School Dubai Principal said that the school is taking into account all achievements and contributions within this institution, stressing that this allows the school to recognize educators who not only meet the KHDA criteria but also embody the vision and values of this school, ensuring a well-rounded and meaningful nomination.
Chima also said that institutions are reviewing their HR policies to make sure they are in line with the Golden visa nomination process as well as the education regulator’s guidelines.
Any necessary updates will focus on incorporating clear criteria for nominations, recognizing outstanding contributions, and ensuring transparency throughout the selection process.
