File picture

A new resource to provide parents of private school students reliable information about school fees has been launched by Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA).

The KHDA's one-page fact sheet includes all the fees a school may charge during an academic year.

In addition to mandatory tuition fees, details of transportation costs, extra-curricular activities, school trips and books, amongst others, will be listed. 

The first phase will be implemented by schools starting their academic year this month, covering parents of more than 81,000 students across 35 schools in Dubai.

Schools starting their academic year in September 2022 will get access to the service before the close of the current academic year.

The School Fees Fact Sheet will also include information on discounts and scholarships given by each school, if applicable.
