Addressing

The duties of social workers include addressing the problems of students like excessive absences, cutting classes, malingering and others; identify cases requiring more care and then refer them to the concerned institutions; help students with learning disabilities, as well as those who are excellent and talented; and determine who among the students are in need of social aid.

The Education Ministry will lay down the executive regulations for this bill.

MP Osama Al-Shaheen submitted a proposal to allow nationals working in the private sector who are covered by the Fifth Chapter of the Public Institution for Social Security (PIFSS) to transfer between the categories of social security contributions ranging from KD100 to KD1,500 anytime. The lawmaker pointed out that the current regulation allows these workers to transfer to a higher contribution category based on promotion and they have to wait for 12 months before doing so.
