The UAE University (UAEU) has decided not to accept new male students in the Department of Mathematical Science of the Science College, as there are just three students in this division.
Dr Mohammed Ali Al Azzab, Deputy Dean at the College of Science said that the UAEU stopped accepting male students until such time that the needs of the UAE job market for mathematics graduates are studied. He pointed out that local students have refrained from applying to this branch because there are no specific openings for mathematics graduates.
"Most of math graduates work as teachers whether in government or private schools but teaching is not an attractive job for locals," noted Dr Al Azzab.
The Department of Mathematics at the UAEU has only 200 female students and last year, only 10 male students graduated from it to face an uncertain future.

So it's all right for the women to become teachers or face uncertain futures - what a surprise!
So "teaching is not an attractive job for locals" said the Deputy Dean. With mindsets like that, of course every local wants to become a high level manager right after graduation!
