DUBAI: Some schools in Dubai will not increase fees for the new academic year despite the government approval to raise them by up to 3%.

In a letter to parents on Sunday, The Indian High Group of Schools, announced that it will freeze fee hikes despite increasing operational costs and inflation rates.

“We are — exactly as we did last year — yet again choosing to keep school tuition fees as is this year, maintaining the status quo,” the school stated in the letter.

The Indian High Group of Schools, which is a non-profit group, has three campuses across Dubai.

“We strongly believe it is imperative to support all our stakeholders in ensuring they have continual access to world-class learning without having to face the added pressure of an increase in tuition fees,” the letter added.
