The K-12 education sector in UAE is poised for growth

UAE will require 150 additional K-12 schools by 2023 to accommodate its growing school-going population, which is expected to reach 1.5 million in the next couple of years, according to the GCC Education Industry Report published by Dubai-based research firm, Alpen Capital.

The anticipated rise in school goers will  drive enrolments in the K-12 sector supplemented with other key factors such as the rising popularity of private education and an expected hike in the influx of expatriates.
