Dubai: It's back to square one for parents of Dubai Modern High School, who have been against the 90 per cent fee hike and the subsequent moving of the school to new premises.
The school on Tuesday issued a circular that it will be moving to its new Dh200 million site in Nad Al Sheba because there is no overwhelming support from parents to pay the fee increase at the old premises.
The circular stated that the move will be effected once all the necessary approvals from government authorities are given for the new building and the new fee structure.
A spokeswoman for the Global Education Management Systems (GEMS) said: "We have been listening very carefully to what parents have been saying and were prepared to sacrifice our move to the new building. But on Tuesday the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) told us that it would treat Dubai Modern High School at par with other schools if it remained at its current site and the current fee structure would have remained."
