During its fifth session on February 11, 2026, the Federal National Council (FNC) of the United Arab Emirates adopted 12 recommendations aimed at improving the quality of life for teachers. These proposals emphasize the connection between better working conditions and enhanced educational outcomes. Among the key recommendations is the introduction of a federal law to regulate the employment status of public sector teachers, ensuring fair rights and responsibilities. The FNC also called for amendments to existing legislation to expand the role of the National Centre for Education Quality to include assessing teachers' quality of life, recognizing its significance in educational success.

Additionally, the council proposed the creation of a dedicated unit within the Ministry of Education to develop policies supporting teachers' wellbeing. Recommendations include establishing unified guidelines for working conditions across public and private schools, increasing salaries for Emirati teachers, and introducing a minimum salary in the private sector. The FNC aims to enhance career progression systems and professional development programs, linking performance evaluations to career advancement and financial incentives. The council also highlighted the need for awareness campaigns to elevate the status of teachers in society.
