In the UAE, parents are facing high costs when it comes to purchasing school uniforms, with prices ranking among the highest globally. This has created a significant financial burden as the new school year approaches.
How Parents Are Saving on School Uniforms
To manage these expenses, many parents are adopting various strategies:
- Buying uniforms second-hand or sharing between siblings.
- Looking for discounts or waiting for sales events.
- Participating in school or community-organized uniform swaps and donation drives.
Despite these efforts, the overall high prices remain a challenge for many families.
Reasons for High Uniform Costs
Experts attribute the high expense to:
- Quality requirements imposed by schools.
- Brand demands that many educational institutions enforce.
As education-related costs continue to rise, it becomes increasingly important for families to engage in careful financial planning and seek community support.
Role of Authorities and Communities
The Ministry of Education is actively aware of these challenges and is exploring potential solutions to help ease the financial burden on families. Meanwhile, schools and communities continue to support parents through various initiatives to make uniforms more affordable.
