Where do you see the growth in demand coming from and what are the estimates for the private and public sector demand for schools? Which emirates will benefit and why?

The UAE education sector is gaining momentum and it is expected that both the private and public sectors will have a combined market value of USD 3.2 billion by 2015. This is primarily attributed to an increase in population. The private sector is expected to absorb the majority of this growth given the willingness of parents to spend on education. In Abu Dhabi, there are 200,000 students in private schools and the number of students is expected to reach 280,000 by 2020. In Dubai, where growth is even greater, the number of students is expected to rise from 225,000 to 360,000 by 2020.
