Schooling in Dubai

A new academic year is starting. All the parents are hoping for a wonderful start. Kids are excited to reacquaint with their school buddies.
I know many kids who are joining new schools, they are looking for friends. Praying this school will be better than their previous one. Well, parents will know by the end of the first term.

Here in Dubai there is sizable disappointment among parents about the school. Kids change their schools frequently. There is very little percentage that remain in the same school for their entire education. House shifting to a different country may be one of the major reason. But there are other major factors to consider. Teachers too change schools regularly. So there is no sense of permanency. Schools fees play another major part, schools increase fees every 3 yrs. Very few schools provide an all round experience. even then parents are unhappy.

I have inquired with few of my family friends living in India and abroad. According to them, teachers change at their place too but not at this rate and school fees are definitely nominal. I came to a conclusion that it is the fees, education not worth for the money we pay. and it increases at an high rate. School fees vary
Though KHDA inspects schools every year, best review is through word of mouth. highest ranking schools too have their own problems, which I am not listing here

Finally which is the best school. Where to enroll my kid, the search continues.
