Dubai: With more than 100 schools likely to open in the UAE by 2030, investors – new as those with already sizeable interests – are queuing up to seize their opportunities.
“Dubai alone has around 220 private schools (from 136 in 2007-08), and the emirate’s education sector is poised for significant expansion, with a 25 per cent increase in land area to be allocated for educational purposes,” said Dr. Adil Alzarooni, founder of Citizens School. He reckons that the UAE will need close to 150 new schools to meet the expanding student population.
