KUWAIT: Kuwait’s Ministry of Education announced on Monday the opening of three new schools in Mutlaa, starting from the second semester of the 2025–2026 academic year. In a statement, the ministry said Education Minister Jalal Al-Tabtabaei issued three ministerial decisions approving the opening of Al-Durra Kindergarten, Saleh Rashid Nasser Bouresli Boys’ Primary School, and Lamees bint Amr Girls’ Primary School.
The statement said the Jahra Educational Zone will amend and reissue registration and admission circulars in line with the new decisions to accommodate students at the newly opened schools. The ministry noted that the decisions include providing all technical equipment, furnitur and educational supplies needed for the schools, in coordination with relevant authorities, to ensure they are fully prepared to receive students in line with high organizational and operational standards.
It added that electronic transfer applications for teaching staff opened on Monday and will remain available until Thursday. Priority, the ministry said, will be based on length of service, followed by age, then performance evaluation in cases of equal seniority. The transfer process will be conducted electronically without human intervention to uphold principles of fairness, transparency, and equal opportunity, the statement said.
The ministry also said specialized teams are currently reviewing electronic transfer requests submitted earlier by administrative staff working in schools. Decisions on administrative transfers will be issued in accordance with approved regulations before the start of the new semester, to ensure staffing needs at the new Mutlaa schools are met.
According to the statement, the minister is directly overseeing the implementation of these decisions and is keen to mobilize all administrative and technical resources to ensure the schools open on schedule and all organizational and operational procedures are completed as planned. The ministry stressed that it will continue implementing development projects across various educational zones, with the aim of improving the quality of education and providing a suitable school environment that supports stability in the education sector and serves the interests of students and their parents. — KUNA
