INTERNATIONAL schools are bracing for a possible fall in enrolment numbers as expatriate numbers slide due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but for the more popular schools, it could mean a shorter wait-list for prospective students.

This has created uncertainty for expatriates who were originally scheduled to move here.
