The Ministry of Education has identified its requirements for educational staff members for the upcoming academic year 2023/2024, totaling 1,200 male and female teachers.
According to Al-Rai daily, the ministry has called upon its administrative sector to source these educators both domestically and internationally, aiming to address shortages in specific subjects and bolster manpower for new educational institutions.
Meanwhile, an educational insider told Al-Rai that 320 male and female teachers have secured approvals from the Civil Service Commission under local contracts up to the present date, with other matters being addressed by the CSC.
According to the source, the administrative sector has initiated the digital reception of teacher applications for external contracts through the ministry’s official website. Simultaneously, they are in the process of reviewing numerous applications submitted by non-Kuwaiti teachers within the local context to ensure compliance with the prescribed specialization criteria established by the public education sector.
The source indicated that the appointment of Kuwaiti teachers nominated by the CSC will be conducted through the ministry’s online platform.
The CSC, however, declined applications from numerous non-Kuwaiti teachers, citing the presence of Kuwaiti candidates registered in the central employment system for the same disciplines.
In addition, the source affirmed the ongoing collaboration between the Ministry of Education and the CSC to lift restrictions on job classifications for non-Kuwaiti teachers, aligning with the required numbers for the forthcoming academic year, explaining that there are about 1,000 vacant grades to provide cleaning workers for the ministry.
