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."

Netanyahu’s Shocking Gaza Plan: ‘We Will Take Control of ALL of Gaza’ — But At What Cost?

  As Israeli forces intensify their offensive, Netanyahu vows total control of Gaza — but the humanitarian crisis is reaching a breaking point. Will the world stand by and watch?
