Dubai's government has implemented stringent new regulations effective September 12, imposing a Dh500,000 fine and immediate closure for unlicensed or unapproved higher education institutions. The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research will enforce these rules, overseeing penalties for breaches of the sector's laws and regulations.
The policy aims to protect students' academic and financial rights while allowing legitimate institutions to continue developing. Repeated violations or continued operation post-closure can lead to permanent bans for those involved in the institution.
