Oman stops excessive school fee hikes

  • Oman: Sunday, May 17 - 2009 at 10:26

Private schools in Oman has been told they are not allowed to increase tuition fees by more than 15% over a two-year time frame. The Ministry of Education (MoE) said it has the right to specify the percentage increase, based on the quality and standard of education provided by the school. However, Aisha bint Ahmed al Balushi, Director General of Private Education at the MoE, said the increase would be allowed if the school was running an international qualification programme, a new educational qualification, or a franchise with an international educational centre or organisation.
