What is the validity of an approval from Ministry of Education (KHDA) for a teacher?

Dear Questioner,

Thank you for your inquiry.

KHDA approval for a teacher is typically valid as long as they remain employed in a licensed private school in Dubai and meet the necessary requirements for teaching.

However, the approval is usually subject to renewal, and teachers should ensure they comply with KHDA’s regulations to avoid any issues with their legal ability to work in schools.

If the teacher is employed in a public school, they will need to be approved by the Ministry of Education (MOE).
