Dubai’s schools are currently facing a significant surge in waitlists due to an influx of new families moving to the UAE. This surge notably affects popular institutions within the GEMS Education network, including:
- Jumeirah Primary School
- Jumeirah College
- GEMS Wellington International School
These schools now have waitlists for all year groups, reflecting the growing interest of foreign families in Dubai’s education system.
Factors Contributing to the Waitlist Surge
The increase in demand is attributed to several factors:
- Dubai’s expanding economy attracting expatriates
- The city’s reputation as a safe and prosperous living destination
- The high quality of schooling options available
