You cannot be serious. My daughter's school intends raising fees by 9% in September but that will only mean an extra AED1,100 per YEAR so where on earth do your kids go?

I don't buy this profit -v- non profit, they all charge the same so what difference does it make?
To our pockets - nothing - but at least you know any excess is going back into the school and not just lining the pockets of some greedy t0sser....

She's trying to saying that's how much she'll have to fork out now she doesn't get school fees paid - not that that's how much the increase will cost her.

i think you will find all schools are doing it , not just one or two.

Happy days!
