The perfect way to thank our hardworking teachers

After conducting a school review, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority announced a shortfall of teachers, with government schools across the country missing almost 800 in total. Such a significant shortfall means longer working hours and additional stress for the unsung heroes shaping the youth of today.

With the end of the Emirate’s school year vast approaching, it’s the perfect time to recognize the efforts of Dubai’s hardest working teachers. On the 21st April, 2011, Mall of the Emirates, in conjunction with Ski Dubai, are offering free chairlift passes for shoppers who purchase a MOE Gift Card to the value of AED 350 or more, making this the perfect way for kids to show their thanks and appreciation.

Each Gift Card will not only give teachers the opportunity to buy what they want, when they want from a selection of the mall’s stores, it also allows them to take time out and relax while they take advantage of a free chairlift and chill out at Ski Dubai’s Avalanche Café.

Mall of the Emirates VP Fuad Mansoor Sharaf states, “In recognizing the dedication of our schools’ teachers, we are happy to provide children and parents with alternative gift ideas. With the Mall of the Emirate’s Gift Card allowing the recipient to buy what they, when they want, this is the perfect way for kids to say thanks."
