The new academic year gets under way on August 30 and will usher in the start of a new life in the UAE for many new overseas recruits.

Due to the economic impact of the pandemic, some schools put their recruitment plans on hold, while others press ahead with remote interviews and flights.

Taaleem, which operates 13 schools across the Emirates, is set to welcome 127 new teachers, 52 of which are international hires from countries such as the UK and US.
