GEMS Education to open private schools in the UK
Dubai-based GEMS Education is planning to venture out in the UK by setting up private schools with fees at half the price of top schools in the country.
As reported by Arabian Business, GEMS intends to open six fee-paying day schools for boys and girls aged three to 18 in towns and cities across England over the next two years.
It is said that GEMS aims to charge parents between £8,000 and £12,000 a year – about half or a third of the price of some of the country’s leading public schools.

Private Schools in Dubai restricted from raising fees in 2011
The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) had received applications from 29 schools seeking permission to increase their fees. However, private schools in Dubai will not be allowed to increase fees in the new academic year (2011-12).
This is a breath of fresh air for expats in Dubai.
