TWS fees will not be increased Dubai - Arabstoday Dubai's Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) has confirmed that Gems' Westminster School (TWS) is to remain open without any increase in fees, after the group reversed its previous decision to close the school down in June 2014 due to fee increase restrictions. The school initially applied for closure in August 2012, after it was unable to increase fees above the permissible limits stipulated by the KHDA's fee framework. "The initial application to close TWS was a business decision made by Gems and was processed in line with KHDA regulations. Following a secondary review, the organisation has withdrawn the application to close and the school will stay open," said the KHDA.
