Some schools in Dubai have already started notifying parents about the tuition fees increase that will come into effect from the 2023-24 academic year. On the other hand, there are some schools that have informed parents that they will not be increasing their tuition fees.

Indian curriculum schools who commence their new academic year in April have already sent the notification to parents, while other curriculum schools that begin their year later are yet to do so.

This comes as a result of the announcement by the Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), which earlier stated that private schools are eligible for a 3 per cent increase in tuition fees from 2023-24 academic year. Some private schools can even increase fees up to 6 per cent provided they meet certain criteria.
