WE ARE MOTHERS AND COLLEAGUES

A leading Emirati educator is on a mission in ensuring a bright future for the education industry in the UAE.

Nada Al Taher currently teaches graphic design at the Higher College of Technology at the Dubai Women’s College.

“Emirati women have contributed in many aspects in the development of this country and stood side by side by men as mothers and colleagues throughout the years. Both men and women in the UAE receive equal opportunities, education and jobs,” Al Taher said.

Al Taher’s inspiration to be a lecturer started with her own achievements when she was a student, especially when she received a scholarship to study at the Monash University in Australia.

She also took part in the 2008 Sheikha Manal Art Exchange Programme and took on an 18-month Cultural Excellence Fellowship by Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Foundation.

However, Al Taher considers that the most rewarding gift to her is being a mother of two children.

She added that, personally, she has never seen a difference between men and women in the UAE.

The graphic design teacher also feels that there are equal opportunities for both genders in the country, be it education, or jobs.

Both men and women in the UAE receive equal opportunities, education and jobs.”
