No increase in school fees this year
There will be no school fee increases for the 2013/14 academic year, Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has revealed.
The announcement comes in line with the release of the annual Education Cost Index (ECI), calculated by the Dubai Statistics Centre at minus one per cent (-1%).
Mohammed Darwish, Chief of KHDA’s Regulations and Compliance Commission, said: “We are sending communications about the ECI and its implications to all private schools in Dubai, to ensure they are understood clearly. We urge schools to also share this information with parents.”
Under the School Fees Framework released by KHDA in 2012, schools are entitled to increase fees depending on their inspection results and ECI. The School Fees Framework prioritises the interests of students and parents and encourages investment in the education sector by allowing schools to develop long-term growth plans, as well as motivating existing schools to improve the quality of education they offer.
