NAT-CHILD-SCHOOL-STOCK — DUBAI PARENTS GET SCHOOL FEE REPRIEVE: In a major relief to the parent of school-going children in Dubai, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority has announced that private schools in the emirate will not increase tuition fees in the 2021-22 academic year. This is the second consecutive year that fees in Dubai schools have remained unchanged. With as many as 286,588 students enrolled across private schools in the emirate, this is a big relief to those parents who have suffered from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such initiatives will continue to ensure that Dubai remains a top destination for expatriate families.[COMMENT BY: Somshankar Bandyopadhyay, Assistant Editor] Image Credit: Shutterstock

OPN 210316 edit — HUNGER IS THE MAIN ENEMY IN SYRIA TODAY: Ten years since the horrific war in Syria began, everything has changed. Hunger is everywhere in the country, with people standing in long queues to collect their government quota of two packets of bread per family. Filling your car up with petrol takes no less than five hours. Half a million people have been killed in this war. Hundreds of thousands have been brutally tortured. More than half the pre-war population of 23 million is internally or externally displaced. The country has lost more than $200 billion in GDP. How Syria will ever emerge from these ruins, no one can tell. Everything has changed in Syria - except the government of President Bashar Al Assad.
