Recent evidence indicates that the “education gap” is not the only disease that Kuwait suffers from, and it does not seem to be the most dangerous disease but rather the inability and the competence of the future generations to run the country’s affairs in their future.
If the case of 40,000 cheating students in the schools of the Ministry of Education, which was recently discovered, has occupied public opinion for a long time, 26 teachers have been implicated for leaking exams, and they allegedly made 3 million dinars collectively from cheating and this was the great calamity.
In what informed sources revealed, about the involvement of teachers and heads of departments who applied for the prestigious supervisory and administrative posts recently in public education schools conducted by the Ministry of Education, they were caught cheating red-handed. They used “modern cheating methods” while anwering electronic tests for the supervisory positions currently.
It is unfortunate, and frightening at the same time, that these heinous practices, which are not appropriate to be carried out by the educators will destroy the future generations in the country.
The Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education, Osama Al-Sultan, issued decisions against some Kuwaiti teachers who were caught by cheating while performing electronic tests for candidates for supervisory positions, and gave them a “zero” and prevented them from applying for educational positions for a period of 3 years.
Some of the reasons why teachers cheat
— The punishment is not deterrent and does not exceed the deprivation of promotion for a period of 3 years
— Observers do not record reports against cheaters under the pretext of “not embarrassing them”.
— The fragility and weakness of control in tests and lack of stringency to prevent fraud
