Dubai: Community-centered schools, which have rented land from Dubai Government, will have their rent frozen for the next academic year in exchange of not raising their tuitions fees.
The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and the Dubai Real Estate Corporation (DREC) are working together to stabilise land rents for community-centered schools.
Dr Abdulla Al Karam, Chairman of the Board and Director General at KHDA, said: "We wanted to protect the pupils in these schools who would have been affected by land rent increases. By working closely together with our partners in the Dubai Real Estate Corporation, we have been able to establish a focused set of criteria that ensure the continued provision of learning to the community in the few long-standing institutions particularly impacted. We are particularly appreciative of DREC's collaboration with us and their support."
