Teaching skills have long been thought of as something rather elusive, much like a secret art. An art that included personality, content knowledge and body language to name [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
According to the National, there is an urgent need for qualified teachers as well as retraining of current teachers in UAE schools. There is certainly a list of valid arguments for this and supporting evidence such as a 2007 McKinsey study concluding &#8220;that all outstanding school systems share one characteristic: high-quality teachers&#8221; (see link above [...]]]></description>

In Vienna, for example, having a coffee could involve a complex social ritual with the waitstaff.

		<description><![CDATA[Yet another surprising piece in the UAE education reform puzzle emerged today with two articles in the National describing the difficulties of prospective Emirati teachers in finding a job. Given the drive towards Emiratisation and the urgent need for local involvement in education, something doesn&#8217;t quite add up here.
In an attempt to clarify this issue, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A crucial component of the PPP project in the UAE is teacher training and improving the quality of teaching. Yet, where is the data to empirically demonstrate what exactly distinguishes the extraordinary from the good or the merely average teacher? It&#8217;s fairly easy to spot glaring omissions or problematic behavior by teachers in the classroom. [...]]]></description>

Morgan Spurlock in &#8220;Supersize Me&#8221; had already started to stir up a debate about school lunches, the costs of nutritional shortcomings and big business with the little ones.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my pet hates &#8211; seeing &#8220;TEFL qualified&#8221; on people&#8217;s CV&#8217;s. To me, that translates into: you have an art history degree and some dodgy online 3 week teaching certificate. People, those kinds of qualifications should land you a  job in the fast food industry, not the English Language Department.
