Fee Increase Allowed For Private Schools in Dubai
The KHDA recently allowed private schools in Dubai to increase tuition by 3% in the 2023-24 school year. The decision was announced after considering the city’s current economic situation and the operating costs of private schools in order to maintain quality education.
The amount by which schools can increase the tuition depends on the inspection qualification of the Dubai Schools Inspection Board.
Under the rules, private schools can increase fees by 3% while maintaining the same level of inspection. However, schools whose inspection scores have fallen are not eligible for a fee increase.
