Dubai private schools allowed to host graduation ceremonies this year

Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

The private schools in Dubai will be allowed to host graduation ceremonies this year. This was revealed by Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA)  on Wednesday.

KHDA shared this ‘great news for graduates’ on its twitter account.

According to a tweet by KHDA, graduation ceremonies for Dubai private school students finishing high school can go ahead this year.

But authority has urged schools to follow specific health and safety protocols during the ceremonies.

Last month KHDA has announced that private schools in Dubai will not be increasing tuition fees for the 2021-22 academic year.

This is the second consecutive year that fees for Dubai schools have remained steady.

The announcement follows the release of the annual Education Cost Index (ECI) calculated by the Dubai Statistics Centre, which measures annual changes in the costs of running a school, including salaries, rent and utilities.

The ECI for this year stands at -2.58 per cent.
