The fact sheet was introduced earlier this year by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) to coincide with the beginning of the academic year for schools offering the Indian and Pakistani curriculums. It was rolled out to 81,000 students across 35 schools in Dubai. However, it is now available for all private schools across the emirate, listing all approved fees and costs, such as transportation, extra-curricular activities, school trips and books, among others.

Schools starting their academic year in September 2022 will get access to the service from this week, with parents receiving an SMS with the link to their school’s fact sheet. It will also be included in the annual Parent-School Contract, with over 180 schools included in the new roll-out of the fact sheet.

Dr. Abdulla Al Karam, director general of Knowledge and Human Development Authority said, “The school fees fact sheet will be now available every academic year for all private schools in Dubai. The fact sheet not only gives parents accurate and up-to-date information on all the fees they could be expected to pay, it also enables parents and schools to better focus on children’s learning. We appreciate the support of Dubai school leaders in making the school fees fact sheet accessible to their parent communities.”
