Goodbye Mr Chips
Here’s a sad story: a low-cost school for poorer, mainly Pakistani children in the UAE is getting a makeover, but at a huge cost. The Modern Pakistani School is reinventing itself as an Australian curriculum school, but as a result, fees are likely to increase from Dh100-200 to over Dh1,000 a month.
It’s likely there are a lot of expat children in the UAE not attending school, because their parents are too poor. Technically you are not allowed to have your family/children with you, unless you can afford it. You have to earn at least around Dh3,000 a month. But with rents, health costs and school fees continuing to escalate, that figure is no longer realistic.

The development taking place in Dubai is impressive and the workers who are putting their blood in building those concrete monsters are getting this kind of reward. This is ridiculous! I think its high time Dubai should think about winning hearts of those who have spent their lives here working for Sheikhs like dogs.
