Sign your child's school contract from home

Dubai - Parent-school contract signing made easier for parents in Dubai

Parents no longer have to wait in long queues to get their children's school contract. It just takes 20 minutes to read and sign it online.

The parent / school contract is available online through the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) app on any iOS or Android devices.

All parents in Dubai are required to sign the contract, which outlines their rights and responsibilities regarding their children's' education.

How to sign the contract in 5 easy steps

> Download the KHDA app

> Go to the parents' page

> Sign up, or sign in using your Emirates ID, mobile number or email address

> Click on your child's name

> Read & sign the contract

The contract protects both parents and schools, and includes clauses on assessment, tuition fees, anti-bullying and other school policies.

Amal Belhasa, Chief of Compliance and Resolution Commission at the KHDA said: "One of the biggest investments parents make is in their children's education. The contract protects this investment and helps parents and schools to have healthier, happier relationships. By reading and signing the contract through the app, parents can save time and energy."

Anisah, a mother of three children in Dubai, recently signed each of her children's contracts through the app.

"The contract is great. It helps me to know exactly what I can expect from the school, and what they expect from me as well. Signing through the app was really easy - much better than having to wait in a long queue at school," she said.

Parents unable to access their children's contract through the KHDA app were urged to contact school's registrar.

The deadline to sign the contract is Sept.30.
