    This year, Ramzan is expected to start on March 23 in the UAE, but the exact date is likely to be announced by the moon sighting committee on the night of March 22.

    Eid-Al-Fitr is expected to be on Friday, April 21, 2023. Eid holidays will be from Ramzan 29 until Shawwal 3 – based on the Islamic calendar.

    The exact date of the start of Ramzan and Eid-Al-Fitr will be confirmed closer to the date, based on the moon-sighting tradition.

    Dubai: Private schools to increase fee from next academic year

    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

    Dubai-based private school giant GEMS announced on Friday that it will increase the salaries of faculty members. “We are pleased to confirm also today that we will be implementing teacher salary increases in April for our Indian curriculum schools and in September for our International schools,” Dino Varkey, Group CEO of GEMS Education told Arabian Business.

  • UAE: Private companies must hire Emirati staff by July 1 or face fines

    UAE: Private companies must hire Emirati staff by July 1 or face fines

    [ad_1]

    Abu Dhabi: The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation said private sector companies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) need to hire more Emiratis by July 1 or face fines.

    The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation sent out a reminder informing private sector companies that they have less than four months to achieve the new targets or face fines.

    By the end of 2022, UAE companies have been instructed to ensure that at least 2 per cent of employees are Emiratis.

    This number should increase by another 2 per cent each year until it reaches 10 per cent in 2026.

    However, a UAE cabinet decision changed the rule earlier this year.

    The annual emirate target is now divided throughout the year by 1 per cent in the first six months of the year and the other 1 per cent in the second half.

    MoHRE tweeted, “A UAE Cabinet resolution on modifying the mechanism for achieving Emiratisation targets at private sector companies with 50 employees or more came into force.”

     “The overall mechanism for achieving the targeted Emiratisation rates has not changed; it became semi-annual instead of annual. Companies with 50 employees or more are required to achieve an increase of 1 per cent of skilled jobs every six months and reach a growth rate of 2 per cent by the end of the year,” MoHRE adds.

    MoHRE continued, “The annual 2 per cent Emiratisation growth for skilled jobs in 2022 for private sector companies and the 10 per cent goal for 2026 have not been changed in this resolution,”

    “The resolution aims to accelerate achieving Emiratisation targets and employing UAE nationals in the private sector throughout the year,” MoHRE added.

    Currently, companies that fail to meet the targets will be fined 6,000 Dirhams (Rs 1,33,389) per month or 72,000 Dirhams (Rs 16,00,668) per year. The fine will be paid in one installment.

    The value of monthly fines imposed on private sector entities will gradually increase at a rate of 1,000 Dirhams (Rs 22,231) per year until 2026.
