The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has released the school fees fact sheet for private schools in Dubai applicable to the next academic year, 2023 to 2024.
In 2022, the KHDA launched the school fees fact sheet, which breaks down the yearly fees for each individual school, including total tuition fees, as well as additional and optional fees on transportation, extracurricular activities, books, school trips and more, that parents may have to incur during the academic year.
As previously announced by KHDA after the annual inspections were held, private schools in Dubai will be able to increase their fees during the upcoming academic year.
Schools will be able to increase their fees accordingly, based on the ratings received during the KHDA inspections, ranging from outstanding, very good and good.
Schools that were rated outstanding from very good rating the previous year, can hike school fees by 4.5%.
A 5.25% increase is available for schools that have increased their ratings from good to very good.
Schools that have maintained the same rating will be eligible to increase fees by 3%, with schools that have dropped ratings, not permitted to increase.
This is the first academic year schools have been able to increase fees, following a three-year freeze on fee increase. The last increases were witnessed during the academic year 2019 to 2020.
