How can we raise the value and skills of Egyptian teachers as compared to foreign teachers?

In Egypt and other Arab countries, most respected schools usually seek EU/US teachers to fill their teaching positions. Arab nationals are automatically screened out in most cases, unless they have a UK or US teaching certifications. How can we overcome this, taking into consideration that a UK certification such as PGCE costs a hefty sum of nearly40,0 EGP?

Hi Alaa, I am sure that it is only a matter of time before Egyptian teachers, or rather the Egyptian process of accreditation is given as much "status" as that of other nationalities, as much as I would like to teach in your country I honestly feel that "homegrown" teachers in your schools is the way forward, for nationalistic and cultural reasons above all else.

Egypt has its own vast treasure of knowledge which perhaps needs to be revived and valued by Egyptians only. Value your knowledge treasure and culture and bridge the gap by knowing more languages to spread it across the world.

For me the Egyptian teachers are valued teachers they can teach in Egypt and GCC countries, but due to low salaries scale not all can afford to develop their skills, as well the government schools and arbic schools are in need for creative, motivated arabic teacher, wherever they will choose to go they will be a great inspiration for students.
