Tariq’s experience in the UAE commenced seventeen years ago and he is immensely proud to have been a part of the transformational change in the Dubai education sector. Tariq has a passion for exciting, engaging and thought provoking Teaching and Learning frameworks that drive progress and attainment, yet bring character and energy to the school community.
