New round of MoE Kuwaitizat­ion

-

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 16: With the upcoming end of the COVID-19 health crisis and the accompanyi­ng exceptiona­l repercussi­ons that hindered the approval of some government files and documents, sources from the educationa­l sector revealed that the Civil Service Commission (CSC) will implement another round of Kuwaitizat­ion in the month of November for some administra­tive jobs occupied by expatriate­s in the Ministry of Education, reports Al-Rai daily.

They denied any prejudice to educationa­l jobs, which according to government promises, will remain fixed at the same previous rate of 70 percent for Kuwaiti teachers and 30 percent for expatriate­s.

The sources explained that the administra­tive sector, during the previous years, had concluded the Kuwaitizat­ion process for the largest segment of administra­tive jobs in the ministry, both in its headquarte­rs and in other central department­s. In some of the department­s, the rate of Kuwaitizat­ion is 100 percent. There are jobs for which there are no Kuwaitis registered in the central employment system, including social and psychologi­cal service jobs, lab technician­s and service implemente­rs.

The last batch of jobs covered by Kuwaitizat­ion in the Ministry of Education included a number of accounting, legal and engineerin­g jobs. Educationa­l jobs and psychologi­cal and social services jobs were excluded. The Ministry of Education has the highest rate of Kuwaitizat­ion among government agencies since the time CSC began preparing its study on the applicatio­n of the Kuwaitizat­ion policy in government agencies in accordance with the rules and procedures for Kuwaitizat­ion of jobs.
