Teachers, share this post in the staffroom. Students, share this with your teachers…

School is a bit different this academic year with some students continuing to study from home and some putting on the uniform and heading back to school. But no matter what option you picked, there is a teacher working hard behind the scenes making it all happen.

And tomorrow, October 5 – the world celebrates International Teacher’s Day – a day dedicated to appreciating our teachers and all that they do for our society.

Here are six places that are celebrating World Teacher’s Day in Dubai

McGettigan’s JLT

On World Teacher’s Day McGettigan’s JLT and The Bonnington are encouraging the UAE to nominate a truly deserving teacher for an ultimate staycation prize for two. It also includes a delightful afternoon tea at the Author’s Lounge, a sundowner (or two) at Leisure Deck and a two-course dinner plus grape at McGettigan’s JLT. Breakfast the next day is at Cavendish Restaurant and if teachers fancy it, a dip at the panoramic pool overlooking the city.

Here’s how to nominate. Students, head to the McGettigan’s main Instagram page @mcgettiganspubs, like the ‘World Teachers Day’ post, tag your chosen teacher (and McGettigan’s) with the hashtag #McGTeachersPet and post and share to your feed or stories. Three teachers will be announced Monday October 5, at 2pm.

Additionally, Mcgettigan’s dedicates every Tuesday to teachers with a 75 per cent discount on beverages from 3pm to 9pm. Additionally, teachers can score 40 per cent off food at McGettigan’s Madinat with the loyalty scheme. At other McGettigan’s venues, a 25 per cent discount is available.
