KU, Nat’l Library ink MoU

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 6: Assistant Undersecretary for Scholarships, Accreditation and Cultural Relations at Ministry of Higher Education Fatima Al-Sanan announced the intention of the ministry to standardize the rates of scholarship students after their graduation to ensure none of them face any obstacles and to facilitate their appointment, reports Al-Qabas daily.

Speaking to the daily, Al-Sanan indicated the committee concerned with standardization of the rates started their work last week, adding that the committee includes representatives from not only the ministry but also CSC and Kuwait University.

She clarified that the committee is concerned with setting up the main rules for standardize the rates to match the applicable score in the country (four points), adding this move is aimed to facilitate the employers in knowing the level of graduate.

Al-Sanan revealed that the committee was formed because of the difference in the rates system in the scholarship countries, and that each country has its own system.

Meanwhile, Al-Sanan declared that the ministry will soon start applying the e-rates system to help the student beome acquainted with accreditation via the website with the launch of a new model for accreditation of scientific certificates.

Furthermore, Kuwait University and the National Library of Kuwait are preparing a memorandum of understanding for cooperation between the two sides to enhance cultural, literary and scientific relations as well as support the university’s libraries.

According to a press release issued by Kuwait University, this was confirmed during a reception held last Wednesday for KU’s Vice President for Academic Support Services Dr Jassem Al-Kandari and the Director of the National Library of Kuwait Kamel Al-Abduljalil.

The two sides affirmed their keenness for mutual exchange of information and cooperation in the field of library which will reflect positively on the university students, researchers and visitors of the National Library of Kuwait.
