School Fees in Dubai for an Indian School: How the Rules Work

How to work out the fees

1. 1

   Understand what sets the fee

   The educational councils and zones in each emirate regulate fees in private schools. The amount differs depending on school type, curriculum and facilities, and school ranking. An Indian-curriculum school in Dubai falls under these same rules, so two Indian schools can charge very different fees.

   See how increases work in Dubai

   In Dubai, for-profit schools can increase their fees based on their individual school grade as per the results of Dubai School Inspection Bureau (DSIB) and the Education Cost Index (ECI), which is calculated on a regular basis. So a fee increase is tied to the school's inspection grade, not applied uniformly across all schools.

   Look up the current fees for your school

   Because we never invent figures, confirm the current amount directly. Use the authority's open data and the school itself, then compare against the framework before you commit.

   Check support for students of determination

   The admission of students of determination and the provision of support needed for them is also taken into account while determining the fees. If your child needs learning support, raise this with the school early so it is reflected correctly.

5. 5

   Note the ranking rule for UAE nationals

   In July 2016, the Ministry of Education made a new resolution which prohibits UAE nationals from registering and funding private schools with a 'very weak' ranking. If this applies to you, check the school's current ranking before enrolling.
