30 June 2009 - Sharjah Indian School closing
- Sharjah Indian School (SIS) has been instructed by the Ministry of Education (MOE) to close, according to a Gulf News report 30 June 2009. The reason was that SIS was running an afternoon shift from 1300-1700 (1pm to 5pm) without permission from the MOE, and the MOE had already warned them on 14 & 24 May 2009. SIS's trade licence will expire in September 2009.
- SIS was reported as saying they would be building a new, larger, school: "We need permission from the ministry to allow us to continue next year in the same premises until we construct a new building" said a spokesman for the school according to the Gulf News report.
- Fees are approximately 300 dhs per month for 10 months per year (3000 dhs per year) for first two children from the same family, a third child is charged 150 dhs per month.
- SIS website at www.sharjahindianschool.org but not available when checked.
