The Sharjah Executive Council has approved a new decision regulating the work and remuneration of supervisors and teachers at the Sharjah Noble Quran and Sunnah Establishment.
The decision aims to support Quranic education in the emirate, improve workplace discipline, attract qualified teaching professionals and strengthen the role of teachers and supervisors who serve in Quran and Sunnah education.
The decision was approved during a meeting chaired by Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council.
## What has Sharjah approved?
The Sharjah Executive Council approved a new framework covering the work and payment of supervisors and teachers at the [Sharjah Noble Quran and Sunnah Establishment](https://snqse.shj.ae/).
The move comes in implementation of the directives of Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.
The decision is designed to regulate professional duties, improve educational and administrative performance, and provide clearer standards for those working in Quranic education.
## Why the new pay framework matters
Teachers and supervisors at the Sharjah Noble Quran and Sunnah Establishment play an important role in teaching the Holy Quran, the Sunnah of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), Islamic values and moral principles.
By introducing a regulated remuneration framework, Sharjah aims to motivate educational and supervisory staff while making the profession more attractive to qualified educators.
The decision also reflects the emirate’s wider commitment to supporting institutions that promote Quranic sciences and religious education.
## Focus on qualified teachers and better performance
One of the main goals of the new decision is to attract qualified teaching professionals.
A stronger pay and work structure can help improve the quality of teaching, increase staff motivation and support long-term professional stability.
For students and families, this could mean better learning experiences, stronger supervision and more consistent educational standards across Quran and Sunnah programmes in Sharjah.
## Administrative rules and disciplinary measures approved
The Sharjah Executive Council also approved regulations governing administrative violations and disciplinary measures for supervisors and teachers at the establishment.
These rules are intended to strengthen workplace discipline and clearly define professional responsibilities and standards of conduct.
By setting clearer expectations, the establishment can improve accountability while maintaining the values and standards expected from Quranic education institutions.
## Supporting Islamic values and national identity
The decision reflects the vision of the Ruler of Sharjah to reinforce authentic Islamic values and strengthen the role of the Holy Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah in society.
It also supports initiatives that help raise generations rooted in faith, values and national identity.
For Sharjah, this is part of a broader cultural and educational approach that places religious knowledge, ethics and community responsibility at the centre of social development.
## Recognition for teachers and supervisors
The Executive Council expressed appreciation for the role of teachers and supervisors at the Sharjah Noble Quran and Sunnah Establishment.
Their work is seen as part of a noble mission that contributes to building individuals, shaping values and nurturing future generations.
The decision gives formal recognition to their contribution and supports the continued development of Quranic education in the emirate.
## Social assistance report also reviewed
During the same meeting, the Executive Council reviewed the Sharjah Social Services Department’s 2025 annual report.
The report showed that social assistance worth more than **Dh500 million** was provided to **11,683 citizens** during the year.
It also showed that **1,892 people** benefited from supplementary social assistance programmes.
The council also reviewed services provided by social care and protection centres, including the Elderly Care Home, Wahat Al-Rushd Home, the Senior Services Centre, home care services and the Child and Family Protection Centre.
## Why this matters
Sharjah’s new pay structure for Quran teachers and supervisors is important because it supports both education and community values.
For teachers and supervisors, it provides a clearer work and remuneration framework. For students and families, it can help improve teaching quality and consistency. For the emirate, it strengthens institutions dedicated to the Holy Quran, the Sunnah and the development of future generations.
The decision also shows Sharjah’s continued focus on combining education, faith, discipline and social responsibility within its public institutions.
