60 new schools that families can afford

Another major development: the creation of 60 new schools with affordable fees. Dubai intends to meet strong demand from families by offering a high-quality education system, accessible to as many people as possible, without compromising on academic standards.

These schools will aim to to ease the financial strain on households, whilst ensuring a modern, inclusive and multicultural learning environment. The project also provides for special support for schools offering international curricula at regulated fees.
