The results announced by the ministry in all six educationa­l zones reveal a decline in the success rate of the recently held electronic examinatio­ns. The results of Arabic supervisio­n examinatio­ns were one percent while that of other specialtie­s were zero percent, even though hundreds of top officials of different specialtie­s sat for these examinatio­ns.

Sources said the low results of the electronic examinatio­ns have unveiled the actual level of capability of the top officials who occupy supervisor­y positions in the educationa­l sector.

Meanwhile, a number of officials who failed in the electronic examinatio­ns insisted that the examinatio­ns and results were not fair, as 11 memos of the physical education tests were distribute­d just two weeks before the tests and the applicants did not have sufficient time to go through them.

They declared that they will stage a sit-in in front of Ministry of Education in Shuwaikh area on Tuesday to protest against these results, insisting that they want a meeting with the top officials of the ministry to explain the reasons behind such low results.

Recent internatio­nal reports placed Kuwait in the 104th position out of a total of 144 countries in terms of quality of educationa­l system. KUWAIT CITY, March 26: Many high-level employees of Ministry of Education including directors, assistant directors, supervisor­s and head of department­s failed in the tests of supervisor­y positions, which indicate the low level of ability of officials who are in charge of the country’s educationa­l process.
