Dubai school fees to increase this year onwards - KT file photo
Dubai – Going to school is all set to become more expensive this year onwards with the education regulator once again allowing schools in Dubai to hike fees.
Fee increase in the emirate is determined by the Education Cost Index (ECI), which is calculated every year by Dubai Statistics Centre. This year the ECI has been set at 2.92 per cent.
Calling the fee increase a ‘cost adjustment’ – Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) says the new ECI will help balance the expectations of parents and schools.
“The fees framework balances the needs of schools and parents,” explained Mohammed Darwish, Chief of Regulations and Permits Commission at KHDA
According to the KHDA’s Fee Framework, outstanding schools are eligible for a raise of up to double the ECI, good schools are eligible for up to 1.5 times the amount and the rest will be granted the ECI rate.
