Abu Dhabi has introduced a new Code of Professional Ethics for teachers to strengthen standards in schools across the emirate. The initiative aims to enhance professionalism, respect, and integrity in the education system.
The new code sets clear rules for teacher conduct and outlines behaviors that are strictly prohibited. These include discrimination or harassment based on religion, gender, age, ethnicity, or social status. Abu Dhabi officials also emphasized that discriminating against pregnant female employees or those who recently gave birth is not allowed.
The code further bans promoting extremism, bullying, racism, or any form of indoctrination. Teachers must adhere to the dress code and avoid wearing culturally inappropriate or immodest attire. Verbal or physical harassment of colleagues, spreading rumors, and disclosing confidential information without consent are also prohibited.
Abu Dhabi’s education authorities stated that the code applies not only in classrooms but also in interactions with colleagues, parents, and the wider community. The guidelines aim to protect students, staff, and the overall educational environment.
Non-compliance with the code may result in serious administrative or legal consequences. Schools and teachers are expected to follow the rules strictly, ensuring a professional and respectful atmosphere at all times.
Officials believe the new Code of Professional Ethics will build trust in the education system and encourage a safe, supportive learning environment. Teachers are urged to familiarize themselves with the regulations and maintain high standards of professionalism in their daily activities.
By implementing this code, Abu Dhabi aims to promote a culture of accountability and integrity in schools, reinforcing the importance of ethical conduct for all educators.
The initiative reflects Abu Dhabi’s ongoing commitment to improving education quality and safeguarding student welfare while fostering a positive, respectful workplace for teachers.
This comprehensive framework will serve as a guideline for educational institutions, helping to maintain consistency and fairness in teacher behavior across the emirate.
