Petition for changes in fees for Deira International School.
Submitting this petition you confirm that you are a parent of DIS student and are agreement that your name will be shown to DIS management as part of petition submission. You agree that by signing this petition you are doing so willingly not influenced or forced by anyone other individual or business.
Our kids are our future and our #1 priority. Their education is one of their most important aspects and here in UAE we bear a massive schooling cost funded by us, employed parents. Tough times are already upon all of us - regular people and parents of 1, 2, 3 or more kids that are in DIS that are already struggling to provide for their families and need to keep their job or have already lost their jobs in turmoil and global recession following COVID-19 pandemic.
We all want to return our kids to DIS back in September as regular and we don't want to explore the options of sending our kids to schools back home for elsewhere where education is either free or affordable but mounting financial pressure may force us to.
Prompt response from parents to this petition is required to support the continuity of our lives in UAE and continuity of school business and other business as well.
Thank you.

Dear Sirs, We appreciate the school efforts in this difficult time. However we believe there are lots of costs that school have saved such as DEWA cost, study material and similar . Hence we kindly request you to reduce the tuition fees of the third term accordingly which will also be a great help for us. Thankfully yours May rwiheb
The school needs to give a discount on 3rd term fees. My company has just given all employees unpaid leave as there is zero income due to the current situation. We are spending now 4 hour each teaching our kids every day and it has become a full time job for us.
I agree there should be sole discount given on the term 3 fees as the kids are schooling from home which adds addition workload on working parents. Also as the kids are not using the school transportation this should be waived off completely for this term. I respect all the effort put by the school leadership & teachers in these difficult times.
Under current circumstances , with parents salary cuts or worse, and the fact that we are supporting in undertaking a large part of teaching duties, I support some concession or waiver of Term 3 . This will financially support households and schools long term vs an exodus of poeple or changing alternative affordable schooling options. Thank you.
My husband does not have a job and I have a 6year old child who is ASD for whom I already have many expenses. Your consideration will.be appreciated.
We need a fair discount for all
God be with us all Well done job for DIS

I dont believe its realistic for school fees to be completely wavered, however I would like a reduced fee for third term if the kids dont go back to school in term 3. As of mid April I will no longer have a job due to convid19.
