Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 24 June 18Parents of all incomes should be able to provide for children
I write in reference to your editorial An expensive education is not necessarily the best (June 22): The National’s thought-provoking editorial on private school fees in the UAE was both meaningful and accurate. Some schools charge fees that are 16 times higher than others and force parents to shoulder the burden.The recent decision by the UAE executive council to freeze school fees until next year was the right one. What impact it will have on the quality of education in these schools is the big question. Schools should have only the higest quality professional teachers in order to provide a decent education. But in addition, education should be affordable, allowing parents of all incomes to provide for their children’s futures.
