Dubai: Global Scholarship & Jobs for 90% of Students by 2033
\ Dubai is rolling out a major upgrade to its education sector, with new policies designed to attract more international students, provide better career support, and help 90% of its student population land jobs in their field after graduation. The strategy, approved by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, was announced following a meeting of the Executive Council. Global Talent, Local Growth One of the key goals: make international students account for 50% of university enrolments in Dubai by 2033. Currently home to 37 international universities, the emirate plans to nearly double that number to over 70, including top-ranked institutions from around the world. To support this, Dubai will introduce enhanced student visas, international scholarships, and graduate work permits. The higher education sector is expected to pump AED 5.6 billion into the economy once these changes are fully in place. Jobs for 90% of Students A new Academic and Career Guidance Policy, led by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), is designed to make career planning more effective from school to university. The aim? Ensure 90% of students find employment in their field, and that Emirati graduates are hired within six months of finishing their studies. The policy also sets targets for: 80% of education providers to offer effective career guidance 70% of graduates to be accepted into one of their top three university or job choices Initiatives include life skills camps, entrepreneurship programs, and stronger school-to-job transition pathways. Big Plans Backed by Big Names Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and KHDA are working together to boost the city's position as a global education hub. Existing institutions like the University of Birmingham Dubai, University of Manchester Dubai, and University of Wollongong Dubai—already ranked in the QS top lists—are examples of Dubai's success in attracting prestigious names.

Nearly Half of Teens Lack Real-World Skills – River Ellington's Expert-Approved Books Prepare Youth for Life, Work, and Money
Staten Island, NY - May 29, 2025 - River Ellington, an advocate for setting teens up for success, unveils his two new books on financial literacy for teens. Titled Essential Money Skills for Ambitious Teens and Practical Career Planning for Ambitious Teens, the books provide a comprehensive, research-backed approach to financial literacy and career development, guiding teens through foundational money management principles and strategic career planning to help them build long-term financial confidence and independence. The Teen Life series is designed to fill critical gaps in today's classrooms by teaching teens the real-world skills they need but often don't learn in school. With step-by-step lessons, classroom activities, and free downloadable toolkits, Ellington's books offer a hands-on approach that aligns with national standards for career readiness and financial literacy. 'Too many students graduate with little understanding of how money works or how to plan for their futures,' says Ellington, a father of two and longtime advocate for youth empowerment. 'These books were written to change that—not with lectures, but with relatable content teens can actually use.' The urgency is backed by data. According to the 2024 State of Financial Education Report, only 26.3% of U.S. public high school students are currently guaranteed access to a standalone personal finance course. That number is expected to rise to 53.3% by 2030, but millions of students still remain without structured support in this area. Meanwhile, surveys show that 78% of teens are stressed about money, and 73% would take a money-management course if it were offered. Career readiness is another key concern. A 2024 YouScience Workforce Report found that 40% of employers feel high schools aren't doing enough to prepare students for the working world. Communication, problem-solving, and self-direction remain among the most in-demand yet underdeveloped skills in young graduates. Ellington's second book, Practical Career Planning for Ambitious Teens, tackles this head-on. It walks teens through discovering their interests, exploring real-world job paths, and taking actionable steps toward long-term goals—while also introducing job search strategies, networking tips, and future-proof skills. 'Psychologically, this book is a lifeline.' Says Marina L., a licensed psychologist. Already a #1 New Release in Teen & Young Adult Careers Nonfiction eBooks, the Teen Life series has received high praise from parents and educators for being engaging, clear, and immediately useful. Each book includes QR codes linking to bonus resources such as budget planners, digital worksheets, and tools to build confidence. The series' third title, Essential Life Skills for Ambitious Teens, is set to launch later this year and will focus on communication, time management, and emotional resilience—rounding out the core areas needed for young people to succeed in adulthood. Ellington's books are available now on Amazon.
