are these prices good for employment package???

16,000 dhs for primary school child, 25,000 dhs secondary school child, housing allowance of 11,625dhs, 70,000 dhs car loan intrest free. Everyone says that housing is not cheap, but would that get you something nice? How much do good schools cost? Any input would be great.
