Dubai has adopted the School Fee Card for the academic year 2025–2026, reflecting the emirate’s commitment to transparency in education. This card provides comprehensive information for parents regarding tuition fees and services offered by private schools, enabling them to make informed decisions about their children’s education. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority aims to enhance trust between schools and parents by providing accurate and clear details.
Details of the School Fee Card
The Knowledge and Human Development Authority in Dubai announced the adoption of the “School Fee Card” for 2025–2026, which is a comprehensive electronic document that provides precise details about mandatory and optional fees. Mandatory fees include both basic tuition fees and registration fees, while optional fees pertain to services aimed at enhancing the student experience, such as school transportation and extracurricular activities.
Accessibility of Information
All parents can easily access the School Fee Card through the “Find Schools” feature available on the Knowledge and Human Development Authority’s website. The card will also include the school-parent contract, ensuring that essential information is available before the start of each academic year. Through this initiative, the education system in Dubai reaffirms its commitment to regulating the financial aspects of private schools.
Verification Mechanism for the Card
The School Fee Card is valid for one academic year and often contains a QR code that can be scanned using smartphones. This code allows parents to easily verify the accuracy of the information listed on the card. This step is part of the efforts to enhance transparency and credibility within the education system.
Communication with Schools
The authority has ensured direct communication channels for parents, allowing them to contact schools for inquiries regarding fee details. Additionally, the authority has provided a “Feedback and Suggestions” service on its website to facilitate the submission of suggestions and inquiries. These efforts aim to enhance interaction between parents and educational bodies, contributing to improving the educational environment for all.
