Dubai Private Schools Group (DPSG) information updated with list of members of Executive Committee announced in press release today. The DPSG was announced amidst some controversy in June 2009 to promote the business interests of private schools in Dubai, and appeared to be an organisation that might run into conflict with the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA Dubai). However, today’s press release said the DPSG would “support the private education sector of Dubai by enhancing the overall quality of education and encouraging progressive growth policies“. We’ll see what the KHDA has to say about it then. DPSG Executive Committe members are:
