UAE-based education giant Taaleem has announced a stellar financial performance for the first nine months of the 2025/26 fiscal year, with operating revenues surging 18.5% to Dh1.17 billion. This growth was largely fueled by a consistent rise in student enrolment and a strategic 3.5% uptick in average tuition fees across its premium institutions. Despite the significant costs associated with launching new campuses like DBS Mira and DBS Islands, the company’s net profit still managed to climb 9%, reaching Dh283.2 million, underscoring the strong appetite for high-quality schooling in the region.

The group’s expansion remains a core pillar of its success, with its premium school network now spanning 14 locations and maintaining a solid 78% utilisation rate. Looking ahead, Taaleem is positioning itself for sustained growth with the upcoming opening of the Harrow International School in Dubai and further developments in Abu Dhabi. While its early childhood division, Kids First Group, faced some minor hurdles due to regional shifts, the firm maintains a positive outlook, bolstered by stable staffing and a clear roadmap to add thousands of new student seats over the next two years.
