UAE: An increase in tuition fees of up to 3.94% has been allowed for Abu Dhabi schools

The Educational Cost Index (ECI) results have been made public by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK), along with the framework for the academic year 2023–2024's optional tuition price hike that has been approved. The declaration comes after a three-year suspension of tuition costs to aid parents in the pandemic and post-pandemic period of recovery.

Together with the Statistics Centre Abu Dhabi (SCAD), the rise is computed using the emirate's Educational Cost Index (ECI) and the results of each school's Irtiqaa inspection.

Schools that received an "Outstanding" grade for the academic year 2021–2022 are eligible for a 3.94% fee increase, while schools that received a "Very Good" rating are only eligible for a 3.38% increase.

Schools with an ECI score of "Good" may implement a tuition price increase of up to 2.81 percent, whereas schools with an ECI score of "Acceptable," "Weak," or "Very Weak" may only implement a tuition fee increase of up to 2.25 percent.

The school must follow the authorized updated fees structure and have been in operation for at least three years to qualify for a normal tuition fee increase.

Irtiqaa's most recent inspection results show that 11 schools received the "Outstanding" rating, followed by 37 "Very Good," 85 "Good," 63 "Acceptable," and 1 "Weak."

Bangladesh Military Expresses Discontent Over Chinese Weapons; Reports 'Sub-Standard' and Faulty Parts

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...

 As the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) met for the second time in a month over the missile tests in North Korea, India yet again raised concerns over the impact on peace and security in the region. New Delhi has also reiterated its support for the denuclearisation in the Korean peninsula, underlining that it is “in collective interest” while also stressing that “dialogue and diplomacy” are preferred means to resolve the issue. The latest intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) test by the DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) has again sparked tensions between nations with the United States and its allies calling for the country to limit its programs even as Russia and China back Pyongyang amid the likelihood of new sanctions. In the latest UNSC meeting, the United States, Britain, France, and India were among 14 nations to "strongly condemn" the latest North Korea launch on Friday, which was reported to have landed about 125 miles (200 kilometers) from ...
