27,000 teachers, school leaders and supporters are subject to the project “Measurement of Vocational Talents of School Cadres”, which was launched by the Ministry of Education for the academic year 2025-2026, and will continue until July 16.

The ministry said that the project aims to enhance educational performance, and to upgrade professional practices within the Emirati school, by empowering teachers, school leaders and supportive cadres to assess their skills, and build individual and institutional development plans.

The Ministry stated, in a book for various cadres, that the project includes more than 27 thousand participants: about 14 thousand and 59 teachers from public schools, 10 thousand and 865 from kindergarten schools and the first episode, 911 of the leaders and supportive jobs, and 2283 participants from the various specializations.

The ministry indicated that the measurement tests extend until July 16, daily, in two periods: morning (8:30 – 12:00 pm), and evening (12:30 – 2:00 pm), from Monday to Thursday, according to a timetable covering all the emirates of the state, noting that the evaluation operations were distributed to 28 centers among 10 main sites, to ensure comprehensive geographical coverage.

1981 participated educationally in the centers of Abu Dhabi, 1776 in Al Ain, 358 in Al Dhafra, while the number of participants in Dubai and Sharjah reached 6813, compared to 786 in Ajman and Umm Al Quwain, 1165 in Ras Al Khaimah, and 1180 in Fujairah and the Eastern Region.

In its call to educational cadres, the Ministry affirmed that the project is a basic national development tool for identifying training needs and evaluating professional performance, calling on the participants to adhere to the presence of identification workshops and positive participation.

During the electronic introductory sessions, the Ministry reviewed the project’s goals, the implementation mechanism, and the targeted groups.

She explained that the measuring project depends on a unified model based on “the framework of professional competencies of school cadres”, and includes three main tools, most notably a multi -options test that includes between 24 and 30 questions, six questions dedicated to measuring problem -solving skills, in addition to a short analytical task (200 words) to measure critical thinking. The evaluation process takes 75 minutes, and the participant is given a final degree between 30 and 36 points, with 30 points the minimum success.

The ministry confirmed that it provided an integrated technical and organizational structure for the project, which included the identification of the centers accurately, with field supervision teams, and an electronic map through an interactive platform to help the participants in accessing their sites, facilitating participation and ensuring the evaluation mechanism efficiently.

The Ministry indicated that the project represents a pivotal turn in building a standard database on professional competencies in the country, which helps to direct training programs and formulate sustainable professional paths for each teacher and educational leader.

She stressed that the results of the evaluation will not be used for control purposes, but will be employed in the service of sustainable development of the educational system, noting that the real investment starts from the teacher, and the quality of education stems from the quality of competencies.
