Great video, thank you for sharing all that info. It was very interesting to hear the differences between teaching in Dubai and England. Here in the US (at least in Michigan) elementary/primary students have one special a day inc. art, music, PE/gym and STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). Some schools have specialist rooms for some or all of those subjects but in other schools for specials (except PE) the teachers travel from classroom to classroom to teach their subject. Are you planning on moving to any other countries to teach?

Hi Thomas, thanks a lot for the video. I had a few questions if you could answer please. There's quite a few adverts for teachers training in UAE. They are specifically looking for STEM graduates. It's a 2 year contract, no experience necessary, teacher training paid for, £41k a year including accommodation allowance. Seems a too good to be true as it's more or the same as a qualified teacher. Do you have any idea about these schemes? What is average rent per month? General maintenance costs (food, bills). I'm weighing up whether to train in Dubai or do PGCE in England for Maths.

I'm applying for a PGDE this year in the UK and I'll get to choose whether I want to get into EYFS or general primary. I do want to work in Dubai after a couple years but I've read somewhere that those who go down the Early Years route won't be able to work outside of the UK because other countries don't recognise it. So, I was told to consider the general primary route. Can I please have your advice or opinion on this? Is it true? (Sorry for the long comment!)

Personally, I’d go primary tbh. You can always gain experience in early years later on.

I'm also from Scotland and I am aware they teach the English curriculum which is quite different from the Scottish. Do the long hours and high expectations pay off for the lifestyle? It is something I have been thinking about for a few years now.
