Older teachers teaching in Dubai
Does anyone know whether the Dubai schools are interested in older teachers i.e. 56 years old? My husband is considering doing his last couple of years there. Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. Also any suggestions on how to look for schools would be good. Thanks

With a medical certificate and proof of his own health insurance he can get hired and teach until he is 60 in Dubai. Bon Voyage!

Friend of mine is there at the moment doing International school relief for GEMS - he is 62 years old.
Having said that he finds the pressure/expectations very high and is looking forward to retirement instead!

As the others are saying , I think he can get a good job even in the age of 50+ because of good experience..

I have recently been offered a Maths/Science teaching job there, and I'm 63 !
I may well take it, too !
