No School Fee Increase in Dubai for 2026-2027: KHDA Confirms Tuition Freeze
The KHDA has announced a complete tuition fee freeze for all Dubai private schools for the 2026–2027 academic year, following directives from H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed. This decision features 33 targeted initiatives to support local sectors, including frozen school land lease rates and licensing fee deferrals. While baseline tuition is legally locked to current rates, parents should monitor standard re-enrollment deposits, which remain capped under framework regulations at up to 5% for existing students and up to 10% for new admissions. The stabilization measure protects household budgets for families across the emirate, where approximately 230,000 students are currently enrolled in affordable private education tracks.
