Five out of the 25 private schools in this emirate have been allowed to hike their tuition fees by 10 per cent in the new academic year. The remaining 20 will not be able to do so as they failed to meet the conditions that allow schools to increase fees, said Nada Bu Futaim, head of private schools department at the Ajman Education Zone.
About 38,000 students are enrolled in these 25 private schools in Ajman.
The official said that some of the private schools are trying to exploit the growing demand for private education and enhance fees annually without considering the financial condition of parents.
To meet the demand for private education and also rein in continuous hikes in school fees, the Ajman Education Zone has approved a new Indian school and a British school. The two will start classes in the new academic year.
The private schools department received requests from the 25 private schools asking for permission to increase their tuition fees. The official said the authorities evaluated the requests and then responded accordingly.
The authorities said the schools intending to hike fees must also ensure that they are at the same time enhancing the education provided to students, improving its quality.
The schools have the right to ask for a hike in fees if they meet other conditions as well, like improving their building and increasing the number of teachers.
The Ajman Education Zone has been acting in coordination with the Ministry of Education to monitor private schools.
There are regular as well as surprise inspections to ensure the schools are abiding by the rules and regulations laid down by the ministry.
The eight Indian and Pakistani schools in the emirate also have to abide by these rules. They have to include teaching Arabic, Islamic religion and national subjects in their curriculum.
The private schools include a free school and two schools with low fees, meant to provide education to orphans and people with special needs.
