further to Harry's post...

School fees in high schools vary from approximately 40000 to 90000 per annum. Primary about 30-60k.

Note: EK do not pay for nursery. EK do not pay for the school year in which the child turns 4. i.e. FS1 in British curriculum and only locals get fees for more than 3 children.

You pay 100% of fees above the cap for the age group. So if in primary school and fees are 60000, you pay 60k-47k =>13k plus 10% of 47k-20k =>2700. So rough total is about16k per child in that scenario.

Add in school transport ¬3000, meals 3000, (optional!) trips, after school sports including club kits, musical instruments and teaching, so add another 10-12k per child per annum. So that is one month's basic F/O salary per child per year that you would contribute.

The best education is mostly from non-profit schools which are in short supply because their main purpose is to educate c.f. the other model which attempts to extract the maximum fees from parents by all means while using smoke and mirrors/sales b.s.

Or home school
or send them to boarding school elsewhere
or...

Horses for courses.
