ECAE Graduates 140 Leaders From Educational Leadership Capacity Building Program
(19 July 2024)

The Emirates College for Advanced Education (ECAE) recently celebrated educational leaders who completed two programmes from its Educational Leadership Capability Building Program (ELCP).

Under the theme “Inspiring Leader”, this four-month programme, which ran from August to December 2023, aims to empower school principals and leaders by equipping them with the latest leadership tools and strategies to strengthen the UAE’s education sector.

The initiative saw the participation of 140 leaders from the Emirates Schools Establishment (ESE), including school principals and vice principals from across the UAE. These leaders completed a training that included direct instruction, dialogues, and panel discussions led by a group of academics and experts in the education sector.

The knowledge and skills gained from this programme are designed to enable them to keep pace with transformative changes within their institutions and to enhance the roles of teachers and educators through innovative technological skills tailored to meet the diverse needs of the UAE's school education system.

The curriculum focused on four main topics: Pillars of Leadership, which covered principles, values, and self-reflection; From Vision to Implementation, which focused on formulating and implementing a strategic vision for schools; Classroom Empowerment, which addressed teaching and learning leadership along with technology integration; and Educational Process Development, which involved leading comprehensive school improvement and spreading positivity.

This comprehensive approach included preparing school plans, implementing initiatives to enhance positive behavior among students, and designing innovative educational environments that encourage continuous education.

Mohammed Al Qassim, Director-General of Emirates Schools Establishment, said, "The comprehensive programme for developing educational leadership aligns perfectly with our vision of nurturing an environment that embraces the highest standards of innovative education. This initiative not only elevates the expertise of our school leaders and teachers but also supports the educational objectives set by our esteemed leadership. At ESE, we are dedicated to continuously investing in every facet of the educational process. We operate under the principle of lifelong learning, striving to achieve the fundamental goals of education, with a special emphasis on empowering our educational leaders and teachers."

Dr. May AlTaee, Vice Chancellor of ECAE, added, “The ELCP is designed to align with the UAE leadership's directives and ECAE’s strategic goals to advance school leadership capabilities across the UAE. This programme equips school principals and vice principals with future-forward tools and strategies derived from the latest scientific research and best international practices. Our aim is to enable them to harness innovation and technological advancements in developing strategies that will elevate the educational standards in UAE schools.”

“The success of impactful educational programmes like ELCP relies on collaborative efforts with our strategic partners and key players in the education sector, including Emirates Schools Establishment. This initiative enriches educational leaders with strategic leadership tools to fulfill their important role in shaping the educational journey and influencing future generations. We are proud of our graduates for their commitment to enhancing their leadership skills and their roles as inspirations in the national education sector,” AlTaee added.

Launched by ECAE in early 2022, the ELCP is a forward-thinking programme established to enhance leadership capabilities within the school education sector in the UAE. Developed by educational leadership experts, this programme aims to enhance the qualifications of educational leaders and, thus, the academic and operational frameworks of UAE schools.
