The National Assembly began the grilling directed at the Minister of Education and the Minister of Higher Education, Dr. Saud Al-Harbi by three Kuwaiti parliament members, on Tuesday, said q8-press. Two grilling motions, one from MP Al-Humaidi Al-Subai and the other from MPs Khalil Abul and Ouda Al-Ruwaiee were combined into one and the minister was answering them.
At the outset of the grilling, MP Al-Hamidi Al-Subaie said: “Many non-Kuwaitis have been employed without advertisements, from December 2019 until February 2020, in specializations that could have Kuwaiti graduates to fill.”
The Speaker of the National Assembly, Marzouq Ali Al-Ghanim, said after the parliament moved to discuss the grilling items, that on August 18, the Minister of Education and the Minister of Higher Education agreed to discuss the motions from three MPs simultaneously in accordance with Article (137) of the Parliament’s internal regulations for close association.
Al-Ghanim added that, upon the minister’s request, today’s session was scheduled to discuss the two motions.
Under the paper presented by MP Al-Hamidi Al-Subaie on August 11 included two motions, the first related to “appointing expatriates and not adhering to cabinet decisions and the civil service regarding the priority of appointment to Kuwaitis, while the second deals with what the interrogator described as“ failure and confusion in making decisions during the Coronavirus pandemic. ”
As for the grilling report submitted by MPs on August 12, it included five motions, the first of which deals with “laxity in the implementation of online education, mismanagement and confusion between the sectors and education departments concerned with the Ministry of Education to make the Kuwait Educational Gate project a success.”
The second part of the grilling, according to what the two MPs presented, deals with “damaging the private education system and taking decisions without regard to quality standards,” while the third motion discusses what they consider “harm to the students’ future and delay in announcing scholarships. ”
The fourth motion of the questioning relates, according to his opinion, to “violating the law on public universities and the law prohibiting unequal academic degrees, not setting up internal regulations for each of them and not performing their role in supervising higher education institutions.”
The fifth motion came, according to what the two MPs presented, was regarding “preventing stateless persons from obtaining their university degrees at Kuwait University after completing all university requirements for graduation.”
The Minister of Education and the Minister of Higher Education agreed in the last regular session of the Council on August 18 to join for the questioning directed at him by MP Al-Hamidi Al-Subai’i and MPs Dr. Khalil Abel and Dr. Odeh Al-Ruwaie, and to discuss the answers with them simultaneously, as he requested to postpone the discussion.
