Simplifying School Fees: ADEK's Policy Explained

Abu Dhabi’s Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has introduced a streamlined policy to regulate school fees, ensuring transparency and affordability for parents while fostering a thriving educational market. Here's a quick breakdown of what this means:

Transparent Fee Structures
Schools must clearly outline all fees, including tuition, uniforms, transportation, and extracurricular activities. Parents will know exactly what they’re paying for, and fee breakdowns must be accessible online.

Fair Fee Increases
Schools can only raise tuition with ADEK's approval, based on strict criteria like financial audits and operating history. Exceptional increases are reserved for unique cases and must meet additional conditions.

Flexible Payment Plans
To ease financial planning, schools are required to offer multiple fee installment options. Registration fees are capped and deducted from tuition, ensuring affordability.

Protection & Refund Policies
Parents are entitled to refunds under specific conditions, such as unused services or early withdrawal. ADEK prohibits punitive actions like denying exams or publicizing non-payment issues, protecting students’ dignity.

This policy aims to balance affordability with quality education while encouraging investment in Abu Dhabi’s school sector. For more details, visit www.adek.gov.ae.
