Abu Dhabi: Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) announced on Friday that private schools can increase tuition fees for the next academic year.
Tuition fees for private schools in Dubai were frozen for the last three consecutive academic years.
“Taking into account the current economic and academic situation in Dubai, the approved rate for fee increase at Dubai private schools for the 2023-24 academic year is set at 3 percent,” KHDA tweeted.
The rate by which fees can be hiked is tied to each school’s most recent inspection rating from the Dubai Schools Inspection Bureau.
Methodology outlined by KHDA to increase school fees
Private schools that maintain the same inspection rating will be allowed to increase their fees by 3 percent
Schools that improve their rating from “weak” to “acceptable” and from “acceptable” to “good” can increase fees by up to 6 percent
Schools that move from “good” to “very good” can increase fees by 5.25 percent
Schools that improve from “very good” to “outstanding” can apply a 4.5 percent rise
Schools that fall lower in the annual rankings will not be eligible for any fee increase
The rate by which schools can increase their fees is tied to their most recent inspections rating. Under the School Fees Framework, private schools whose ratings have dropped will not be eligible to increase their fees

Testimonies of attacks against sub-Saharan Africans have multiplied in different parts of the country since the controversial statements of Tunisian President Kaïs Saïd on February 21 about the “uncontrolled masses” of migrants from the south of the continent.
In Tunisia, security measures against irregular sub-Saharan migrants are intensified and random attacks continue. 33 sub-Saharan migrants were detained in Kasserine, in the center-west of the country, for illegal entry, and 69 were arrested over the weekend for the same reason, according to the Tunisian National Guard.
In Sfax, in the east of the country, four sub-Saharan migrants were attacked with knives on the night of February 25, while in Tunisia, four Ivorian students were attacked as they left their university residence, as well as a Gabonese woman who was leaving her home on Saturday.
Student associations continue to ask students not to leave their homes. These attacks have been kept quiet in Tunisia.
This situation takes place after the declarations of the Tunisian president, who announced “urgent measures” against sub-Saharan illegal immigration in his country, denouncing the arrival of “hordes of clandestines” and “a criminal enterprise to change the demographic composition” of Tunisia.
“What is happening is a serious crime”
Nothing was leaked in the Tunisian media on February 26 about these attacks that took place in the city of Sfax. Only the associations transmitted the testimonies of four victims who had to be taken to the hospital after suffering attacks with a knife in the Cité El Ons area of the city. Several local representatives went to the Habib Bourguiba hospital in Sfax to assist them.
The houses of these people of Guinean, Ivorian, Malian and Cameroonian nationalities were ransacked by their attackers.
The director of the Tunisian Observatory for Human Rights, Mostafa Abdelkebir, confirmed in a Facebook post that the migrants were expelled from their homes and their belongings vandalized. “What is happening is a serious crime,” he said. “I ask the authorities to assume their responsibilities,” he added.
On Saturday in Tunisia, several sub-Saharan students were attacked as they left their shelters and homes, according to a statement from the Association of Sub-Saharan Students and Scholars published on Sunday. The document urges students to stay at home for another week and call a phone number in case of abuse.
“I fear for my daughter and my wife”
For several days, many migrants have not dared to leave their homes. Many exchange messages on WhatsApp to give news and share the latest information or reports of attacks through social networks. In Bhar Lazreg, a neighborhood on Tunisia’s northern periphery where sub-Saharans used to live side by side with Tunisians, many are now cloistered in their homes.
An Ivorian who lives in this neighborhood declares anonymously: “I have been in Tunisia since 2015 and I am with my little family and everything. And, since these events started and after the first speech of the president, a lot has happened in other neighborhoods. And since then, every night, there are always attacks. There are Tunisians breaking into houses, breaking, looting and looting. There are many isolated cases. Right now, there are people who are trapped, who are in neighborhoods where they can’t get out nor to buy food. And I myself am very sad at the moment”.
And he adds: “I am with my little family. We are waiting for Monday to go to the embassy to register and go to the Ivory Coast. Because, for the moment, I can no longer stay here. Because, with what I see, I am very sad. I fear for my daughter and I fear for my wife,” he told RFI.
