Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) has announced that starting from the 2025-26 academic year, all private schools will be required to comply with a new tuition fee policy.
The policy divides school fees into six components and grants parents the option to opt out of certain costs related to devices, textbooks, and school uniforms. Additionally, schools will be allowed to collect tuition fees in up to 10 instalments.

The new policy, distributed to all private schools in Abu Dhabi, aims to establish a clear, transparent, and precise framework for regulating school fees.
It seeks to ensure that tuition costs remain reasonable, provide value for money, reflect the quality of education, accommodate various socioeconomic groups, and clarify the structure and rationale behind fee increases.
The policy aims to facilitate structured and timely tuition payments for parents while fostering a favourable environment for school market growth and investor engagement.
