r no, others will know what i mean, but obviously i take it that you think i am talking about the motor versions of them, i am talking about the fact that they have employed three new "coaches" for sport.

Alot of companies will be doing worst. Just wait and see.
Enjoy the rolla costa AD style ride....

This is my point, companies are cutting and top of the lists for redundancies are employees with school fees and it isn't just construction companies.

yep i know in the same boat.... the only way to help is for the rents to come down like it was in the past, or to be able to pay over 12 months etc, to help the cashflow.

It already did a studio in Discovery garden in Dubai is for 25,000 dh and in 12 cheques.

Just wait It will need a year or two for Abu Dhabi to lower the rents.

This is all a repeat in UAE. I happened three times already. This is the fourth

Problem is that there is no choice but to pay it, and well they know it, there are no jobs back home wherever home may be, so people who have jobs here are not going to pack up and go because school fees have gone up.Guess for those that have children the decrease in rents will pay for increase in school fees.

Blue Cat

that is of no help if the company pay your rent but not your school fees though is it ..

busybee2

but not everyone is getting a lower rent.......

busybee2

so thats another 10k GBP a year worse off each child approx yes i think that there defo will be more people leaving.

Blue Cat

the fees have gone up 50,000 dhs per child

busybee2

nope 10% but if the company dont pay school fees anymore then thats the cost to you.

Blue Cat

our fees are only 30k but she is only going into year 1

I heard our school has put in for fee increase too...........

I'm hoping someone in KHDA will lose the request......

We're back to paying our own fees again - soon it won't make sense for us to be here in the middle east with the schooling costs if we continue paying it ourselves.

I remember reading something a couple of months ago that Dubai schools would be allowed to increase fees upto 15%

busybee2

this is a school in ad, which over the last three years has raised it 46% and the moe ruling is that they are only allowed to do 5% every two years or 20% every 3 unless they get special permission, but now they seem to be getting "special" permission all the time.
