Private schools in Abu Dhabi earned nearly Dh8.8 billion in three years while investment in the sector, including the construction of new schools, exceeded Dh2.4 billion, according to official data.

The earnings were made during the 2013-2015 scholastic years and largely surpassed those made in the previous period due to a sharp rise in the number of students and school fees, showed the figures by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (Adec).

Investments by the emirate’s nearly 185 private schools stood at around Dh2.43 billion during the same period, the report showed.

The investments involved the construction of 34 new schools, including 14 last year, providing classes for more than 20,000 students.
