Ministry probes hike in school tuition fee
ABU DHABI – The Abu Dhabi Education Zone (ADEZ) is investigating the hike in the tuition fee and transportation charges of a private school, Nadia Maddi, the Deputy Director of Private and Quality Teaching at the ADEZ, told Khaleej Times yesterday.
Interestingly, she clarified the school administration had earlier sought approval from the Ministry of Education (MoE) for the fee hike as a new school building had been provided for the students with more facilities in the Musaffah area of the capital. The MoE approved the hike midway during the 2007-2008 school session, with the specific condition that it will be implemented only in the 2008-2009 academic session.
However, the school management decided to flout this condition and implemented the hike during the current session itself. This unwarranted decision prompted many parents to lodge a complaint with the MoE. Representatives of the parents of the students, earlier, also met the Minister of Education, Dr Hanif Hassan, who assured them of a prompt response in the matter.
A final verdict from the MoE and ADEZ is now awaited, according to one of the parents who is pursuing the matter with the MoE.
