Abu Dhabi Education Council has decided to allow expatriate students who had been transferred from Abu Dhabi evening schools to regular public schools to pay last school year’s fees in installments. According to ADEC’s decision, students will pay as equal amount of fees for the school year 2009-2010 as the fees they had used to pay for their evening schools i.e. AED 2200 for C1 students, AED 2700 for C2 students and AED 3200 for C3 students.
However, the fees to be paid by expat students for the current school year 2010-2011 will be AED 6000 for all cycles.
Mr. Mohammed Salem Al Dhaheri, ADEC’s Executive Director of School Operations, said that expat students enrolled in public schools must pay school fees by virtue of Cabinet Decree No. 4180 of 2006 on the Admission of Arab Expatriate Students into Public Schools and Circular No. 2/13 of 2007 issued by the Ministry of Education on the Procedures of School Fees Collection from Expatriate Students in Public Schools.
He pointed out that ADEC’s decision has taken into consideration the economic situation of parents and aims to provide all students at all economic levels in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi with the appropriate educational services. “ADEC seeks to ensure all students in Abu Dhabi have access to quality education in order to help the emirate achieve its vision and strategic goals and to become a regional and global hub for education, knowledge and science” he added
