Second phase of lectures at govt schools resumes: MEW
KUWAIT CITY, April 17: As the Ministry of Education gears up for the upcoming academic year 2024/2025, preparations are underway to equip schools and ensure they meet the latest standards.
Sources within the education sector disclosed to Al-Jarida that the ministry has received 10 school buildings in Al-Mutla’a City from the Public Authority for Housing Welfare. These buildings include facilities for kindergartens, primary, middle, and secondary schools.
The handover process was overseen by project engineers from both the PAHW and the educational facilities sector. The last building, designated for a kindergarten, was handed over last Sunday. These buildings come with a two-year warranty period, during which their compliance with standards is monitored and any issues are addressed with the PAHW.
The ministry has already commenced the process of equipping these schools, including providing necessary furniture for staff and students, as well as books and materials. The aim is to open several of these schools at the beginning of the next academic year. Educational districts near Al-Mutla’a have developed plans to accommodate students wishing to transfer to these newly received schools, with preparations underway to ensure a smooth transition for students and staff.
Furthermore, the ministry expects to receive additional schools in Al-Mutla’a, as 11 more projects are nearing completion. This would bring the total number of schools received or expected to be received to 21.
The ministry is diligently preparing seven of these schools to be operational for the next academic year, including one kindergarten, two primary schools, two middle schools, and two secondary schools (one for boys and one for girls) at each educational stage.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy has announced the resumption of the second phase of morning lectures at the Ministry of Education, aiming to cover 30 schools by the end of the academic year, reports Al-Jarida daily.
This initiative is part of the ministry’s plan to promote the rationalization of electricity and water consumption, particularly as the winter season comes to a close.
The ministry stated that this collaboration with the Ministry of Education is part of a renewed partnership plan to raise awareness about the importance of consumption rationalization. The awareness programs are delivered by a committee responsible for preparing the strategy for rationalizing electricity and water consumption in the ministry, along with teams derived from it.
The ministry’s specialized team, comprising both male and female engineers, has organized several awareness lectures for middle and high school students. These lectures aim to educate the younger generation about the services provided by the ministry related to electricity and water.
In the first phase of the campaign, the ministry’s team covered 11 schools across various governorates, delivering lectures on various topics related to consumption rationalization.
The Electricity Company expressed gratitude to the Ministry of Education, particularly the Educational Development and Activities Sector, for their cooperation and warm welcome extended to the ministry’s team.
The lectures provided aim to enhance students’ awareness and encourage responsible consumption habits in the targeted schools, ultimately serving the ministry’s objectives.
