ITP Media Group has announced the launch of its first-ever Education Excellence Awards in Dubai.
The purpose of these awards is to honour and recognise teachers and support staff in schools registered with the KHDA. The awards are open to schools following any curriculum, from foundation stage to year 13 education.

Categories cover teachers in core subjects as well as key teams within schools such as PE, Music & Arts and special education needs. In addition to the 17 categories open for nominations, there will be an outstanding contribution award, decided by the awards’ judges, that will be given to an individual who has made an enduring, significant contribution to education in Dubai.
An independent panel of expert judges will decide on the winners in each category, with the winning nominees announced on the night.
