UAE parents prefer British curriculum for children

British curriculum schools continue to be in demand, even though there is a huge problem with staff shortages. That’s according to experts who see school fees increasing as educational providers lure teachers to the UAE. They’ve found the emirates sit second behind China in the number of international schools in the country. The Director for International Schools at The International School Consultancy (ISC), Richard Gaskell says that while International Baccalaureate and American education systems exist, parents want their children doing GCSEs and A levels.
