Education remains a top government priority in the United Arab Emirates sustainable development goals and, as such, this sector has experienced rapid expansion. Over the next few years, the number of private schools in Dubai and Abu Dhabi is projected to grow dramatically in anticipation of significantly increased enrolments – 400,000 students in Dubai by 2020, and 283,800 in Abu Dhabi by 2021; compared to 265,299 and 238,632 respectively in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in 2016. The UAE government concern to implement on education sector and futures classes going to be like Distributed learning spaces. Greater emphasis on Project-based learning. Emphasis on cross-curricular learning. Greater use of online tutoring apps and online educational platforms. Robotics education will prove to be essential in promoting innovation. All future students will speak Arabic.

Last year saw a dramatic decrease in the cost of living in many cities in the UAE and in the 2012 Mercer cost of living survey no cities in the UAE featured in the top ten most expensive cities in which to live; Abu Dhabi (76) overtook Dubai (94) in the rankings and became the most expensive city in the United Arab Emirates. As with many cities, accommodation will represent the biggest cost that expatriates face. the remaining things mention below.

It’s a loose federation of emirates trying and struggling to turn themselves into a modern society. Law, education, political structures, social structure and industries are all in a state of flux and in the process of being built and defined. Not all emirates have oil! Abu Dhabi has the bulk and is obscenely rich. Dubai is energy self-sufficient but uses its small reserve to build the local economy rather than exporting it. The northern emirates struggle economically with high unemployment and mostly get along through tourisms and trickle-down effects from Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Income inequality is obscene in the UAE! Its the whole worlds income spectrum compressed into a single small country. I have walked(!) and driven quite a few areas where tourists mostly go to Dubai and Abu Dhabi and not seen remain cities. The UAE is only auto mobile dependent countries. Recent survey says, the oil production rate drastically decreases High provision of roads, that encourage usage of cars, literally it casts global warming Less percentage using public transport. Climate change challenges the UAE, it increases air condition usage and decrease tourism. Task-3 ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF DUBAIDUBAI POPULATIONDubai is located in the United Arab Emirates and is the capital city of the Emirate of Dubai. This global city has become known as the Middle East’s business hub and for being a city of rich culture, and it is also renowned for its beaches, sunny weather, deserts and hospitality. Its diverse and fast-growing economy has led to incredible growth through the decades. In 2016, the population of Dubai is over 2.5 million, and the city is expected to see continued steady growth in the years ahead. 19th May 2018, Dubai population reached to 3.05 million.

Pharmaceuticals, perfumes, chemicals and plastics, maritime, electrical, metals, sports goods and toys, textiles, wood and furniture, paper and paper products, food and beverage, and aerospace and defines are some of the major manufacturing activities in the Emirate. This sector is also on the government’s radar for ‘Vision 2020’. Attempts are under way to increase its share in the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) and make it a more strategic sector. Currently, it is the fourth-largest contributing sector to GDP after wholesale, hospitality, and financial services DUBAI EXPORT AND IMPORTDubai imports a variety of products. The chart above from The Observatory of Economic Complexity shows the main imports of UAE as being gold, diamonds, jewellery, cars, planes, helicopters, spacecraft and broadcasting equipment. The non-oil exports of the emirate rose by 23% in 2009, in comparison to the 2008 levels. The goods worth AED42.6 billion were exported by Dubai in 2008, whereas it exported goods worth AED52.4 billion in 2009 (Dh186.1 billion, including re-exports). However, according to the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, total exports plummeted by 16% in 2009. The major re-exporting destinations of Dubai are: Iran (US$ 790 million) India (US$ 204 million) Saudi Arabia (US$ 194 million Major imports from Dubai 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 major imports from dubai DUBAI ECONOMIC PROBLEMSDubai has been facing lot of problems, also hit the symbols of prosperity and luxury. Real state prices in Dubai have dropped almost 50 percentage. Projects stopped, and thousands of workers laid off. Dubai has accumulated 80billion dollars foreign debt. Dubai once seemed as it if hard endless amount of money to making Burj Khalifa, Burj-Al-Arab, indoor sky scrapers and manmade Iceland’s. however most of this money was borrowed money, Dubai struggling to back that money Massive 80 percentage of population are daily labour workers mainly construction, hospitality, service sectors, Dubai struggling to pay their wages and extend working hours, non-safety working conditions and poor living conditions. The laws of Dubai harsher than our living country, in these cases the tourism get effects Dubai must careful to manage drinking water, the cost of water purification is very high. TASK-1 THE DECISION TO KEEP DIESEL, PETROL PRICES HIGH, GIVES REUSULTS OF BAD ECONOMICS FOR INDIA? SUMMERY OF NEWSA few months ago, when the government decided to not alter the tax component in diesel and petrol prices, despite the beginning of the surge in their prices; the argument of building up revenue pool made economic logic. But now, when the international petrol and diesel prices are surging, and the Indian currency is depreciating, these revenues are becoming a bone of contention. Given the circumstances, should the government hold these taxes? And is there any alternative? Also, for how long can the government hold them up? Incidentally, the general elections are due in next 11 months and the high petrol and diesel prices are already pinching the middle class. This is not only a huge voter base, but ruling BJP's maximum cadre come from this segment. The middle class bore the maximum brunt of demonetization and implementation of GST in the country, and the pricing of petroleum products is again becoming a sore point for them. If we talk purely on economical parameters, this may help the government to get more revenues, but will also lead to a price rise. The impact could already be seen. The monetary policy team of RBI is not only refusing to reduce the interest rates but is also cautioning their colleagues in the fiscal policy monitoring division, about impacts of inflation. Most of the economists, believe that it is much wiser to pay tax upfront than let inflation and other means squeeze this money from our pockets. The consumers of petrol and diesel are facing heavy taxation, and now it is fuelling inflation as well. The higher inflation will also erode the purchase capacity of both government as well as public at large. In a way, it will reduce the value of the revenue earned. This makes the case for the dilution of taxes stronger. The union budget of public spending and revenues was drafted on the assumption that the crude oil prices in the international market will stabilize to $55 a barrel, along with the benign prices of petroleum products. However, the cut down of the crude oil production in the OPEC countries along with Russia, and massive collapse in Venezuela, led to the price soar. Subsequently, the US threat of sanctions on Iran added the 'fear premium' to the crude oil supplies. At the same time, the commodity prices too are regaining their upswing. But with the rise crude price along with other commodities, the policy of keeping the prices of petrol and diesel artificially high, is inflationary. It is not only increasing the cost of transportation but is also making manufacturing costlier. The calculations done by the Chief Economic Advisor, Arvind Subramanian in last economic survey counted this as a big risk to the Indian economy; pointing out that every $10/barrel rise in crude prices slows growth by 0.2-0.3 percentage points and fuels WPI Inflation by 1.7 per cent. Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's officials calculated that India might have to shell out $30 billion more to buy crude oil at the same quantity. In the last fiscal, in 2017/18, India spent $87.72 billion to buy oil from the international market, making it the bulkiest item on the country's import bill of $417.57 billion. Last fiscal, India imported 213.9 million tonnes (MT) of crude last fiscal, about 78 per cent of its demand. The last year's trade deficit was $13.7 billion. This is also creating pressure on the depreciating currency. On February 1, this year, one would have required Rs 63.90 to buy a dollar bill, whereas, on May 21, the price went on to Rs 68.05 to buy the same dollar bill.The unrest among the urban voters is obvious, who are paying through their nose to buy these fuels. Is there a sound economic reason to continue with the higher oil prices? The answer is no. The top league in the ruling BJP believes that their vote bank has shifted from the massive middle class to poor and Dalits, and therefore the public spending will be better vote churner. But they are forgetting that the inflation could hit them worse. The ball is finally in PM Narendra Modi's court. CONCLUSIONThis story deals with Microeconomics. As per article deles with the economic problem of keep prices only petrol and diesel in not particular cities in India, it applicable for every cities in India BUSINESS ECONOMICS ASSIGNMENT SUBMITED BY NALABOTHU.
