KHDA School Fees Framework

The objective behind the development of a framework to regulate school fees is to protect the students and their parents as beneficiaries of educational services, as well as to provide a favourable environment for investors in the education sector and encourage them to improve the quality of education in the Emirate of Dubai. This is achieved by creating a comprehensive mechanism for the implementation of tuition fees which takes account of the educational and economic aspects and protects the interests of all stakeholders.

The framework has been developed in line with the strategic goals of KHDA and as a result of community engagement through parent surveys and investor feedback on this issue. The framework motivates schools to improve the quality of education, whilst at the same time protecting the interests of both parents and investors.

Failure to pay tuition fees or other required fees may result in a loss of the student’s place in the school, withholding of their school reports, references and/or examination results as well as suspension or expulsion from school.

Refunds

1. In the cases of both existing and new students, the registration and re-registration deposit will not be refunded unless there are extenuating circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to relocation to another country/Emirate or any other unforeseen circumstances.
2. In the case of refund, the school fees will be calculated as follows:
   • Tuition fees paid prior to the beginning of the academic year are refundable and only the registration / re-registration fees will be deducted.
   • If the student was enrolled in the school for two weeks or less, a month’s fees will be deducted.
   • If the student was enrolled in the school for a period ranging between two weeks and one month, two months fees will be deducted.
   • If the student was enrolled in the school for more than a month, the full terms fees will be deducted.
3. The refund will be calculated from the start of the term and the date of the official request by the parent stating the intent of withdrawal and not from the date when the student was absent. Being on the school register counts as days in school.
4. If paid with credit card or online, monies will be refunded back to the credit card. Cash payments will be refunded by cheque. 

Student Withdrawals

All students withdrawing from the school must submit notification of their withdrawal in writing to the registrar’s office. A 30 day notification period is required.
