Announced to coincide with the Education Investment MENA conference which started on Monday, the guide sets out the criteria by which the KHDA evaluates applications from school operators.

Titled ‘Opening a School in Dubai’, the handbook gives applicants instructions and advice for preparing an academic plan that meets the KHDA requirements.

Mohammed Darwish, Chief of Regulations and Compliance Commission, said: “We are confident that this guide will encourage serious and quality investors.”

Giving the keynote address at the Education Investment MENA conference, Dr Abdulla Al Karam, Director-General of the KHDA, emphasised the resilience of the private education sector in Dubai, adding that the sector grew through the years of economic downturn, and is expected to grow.
