Web survey to gauge schools in Abu Dhabi
Web survey to gauge schools in Abu Dhabi
Jen Gerson, THE NATIONAL Last Updated: May 20. 2009
Education officials announced an online questionnaire yesterday allowing parents to comment on their children’s schools.
“This is the first step towards the instillation of the culture of transparency between the school, the home and Abu Dhabi Education Council,” said Mughair Khamees al Khabeeli, the general director of Adec, which is conducting the survey.
“The questionnaire covers all the aspects of the education paradigm in Abu Dhabi schools.”
The site asks parents whether the questionnaire should be offered permanently and what makes them satisfied with their school’s performance.
“Based on optional answers, the questionnaire covers such aspects as the school environment, curricula, administrative and teaching staff performance, communication between parents and schools, equipment and amenities,” Mr al Khabeeli said. The results of a similar survey were released this month.
Adec said 70 per cent of parents were satisfied with the schools. That survey queried almost 5,000 parents, who were asked to grade a variety of factors.
The results of a similar survey of Dubai parents were recently released by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority.
The questionnaire can be found at http://www.adec.ac.ae, according to the state news agency WAM.
http://www.thenational.ae/article/20090521/NATIONAL/705209803/1010
To participate in the survey, visit: http://www.adec.ac.ae/en/default/survey.html
Comments: The survey is very detailed and there are options to include the name of school and your own telephone number and email to get the result of this survey. It is therefore advisable to participate in this TQM opportunity provided by Abu Dhabi Education Council.
Career Awareness, Career Coaching and Selection of Higher Education Opportunities
Career Awareness, Career Coaching and Selection of Higher Education Opportunities
During this time of the year, parents and students often begin to discuss and or finalize the selection of higher education programs to prepare their children for eventual career paths.
My experience over that last five years is that often these decisions are made on the basis of status, family history (someone in the family is in the profession) or on a perception of constitutes a “hot” or trendy career field.
While making selections for professional endeavors and the educational programs that are pre-requisite in this manner is one way to plan for the future, it unfortunately overlooks two important variables. Does the individual have the traits and preferences that fit well with that profession and perhaps, more important in the long run, will they truly embrace that profession with not only their mind but their heart?
Global research and the experience of professional career coaches suggest an intense desire for a career makes all the difference.
I often ask both youth and older career changers the following question: What can you imagine yourself doing for work that would make you jump out of bed every morning with anticipation and joy? What do you enjoy so much that you would do it even if you were not paid for it?
While some think these questions are silly or idealistic, the truth is we do our best work when we can add passion and enthusiasm.
As a trained counsellor, career management consultant and certified level A and B workplace assessor, I can assist in a variety of ways. I use a combination of discussion, imagery and psychometric testing to help people make educational and career choices that are based on their personality preferences, their goals and their self – identity.
I firmly believe, as my graduate school mentor once said: After considering, content, location, work functions, educational requirements, work environments and the current labor market conditions, ask yourself one more question….where is the “magic”? Does this choice have even “magic for the soul and heart that it will propel me through my life?
It’s a question worth asking, and my services can help.
