MoE to speed up hiring of teachers
Kuwait:
Informed sources said the education ministry plans
to start the work of contracting teachers from abroad before the end of the
school year and not during the summer break to avoid any delays with contracted
teachers and ensure their arrival in Kuwait before the start of the new academic
year.
The sources said most teachers who signed contracts with the education ministry
from abroad arrived in the middle of the school term, and some were delayed
until the start of the second term, due to the delayed issuance of visas by the
interior ministry, adding these drawbacks will be avoided during the next school
year.
Sources said education ministry will prepare two contracting committees – one
will go for Jordan and the second to Palestine. Both will leave in May instead
of July, adding no committees will be sent to countries other than Jordan and
Palestine. They said the required specialties are mathematics, physics and
chemistry.
They said the needs plans estimate the two committees will sign with at least
300 teachers, adding that the education ministry brought in the interior
ministry in its contracting committees through a liaison officer to speed the
issuance of entry visas and send them to contracted teachers before the end of
August.
