The Emirates College for Advanced Education (ECAE) recently celebrated educational leaders who completed two programs from its Educational Leadership Capability Building Program (ELCP).

Under the theme ‘Inspiring Leader’, the four-month program aims to enhance the qualifications of educational leaders and, thus, the academic and operational frameworks of UAE schools.  They also empower school principals and leaders by equipping them with the latest leadership tools and strategies to strengthen the UAE’s education sector.

The program saw 140 leaders participating from the Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE), including school principals and vice principals from across the UAE. These leaders completed a training that included direct instruction, dialogues, and panel discussions led by a group of academics and experts in the education sector.

The knowledge and skills gained from this program are designed to enhance the roles of teachers and educators through innovative technological skills tailored to meet the diverse needs of the UAE's school education system.

Eng. Mohammed Al Qassim, Director General of Emirates Schools Establishment, said the comprehensive program for developing educational leadership aligned perfectly with the group’s vision of nurturing an environment that embraces the highest standards of innovative education.

“We operate under the principle of lifelong learning, striving to achieve the fundamental goals of education, with a special emphasis on empowering our educational leaders and teachers," he said.

Dr May AlTaee, Vice Chancellor of ECAE, said: "The ELCP is designed to align with the UAE leadership's directives and ECAE’s strategic goals to advance school leadership capabilities across the UAE.”  -TradeArabia News Service
