Kuwait terminates 7,000 teachers
Kuwait has announced the initiation of the first phase of a plan to address the surplus of teachers in the government sector. This phase involves ending the employment of approximately 7,019 contracted teaching staff from various Arab and other nationalities, aiming to better align the number of teachers with the actual needs of schools. This step is part of a broader strategy to reorganize the workforce structure, as studies have identified a surplus of about 33,268 teachers in certain specialized fields, especially in subjects with lower demand. This measure is part of a plan to achieve an estimated annual financial savings of around 42 million Kuwaiti dinars, focusing on the specific disciplines and educational levels where there is a genuine need. The decision applies to teachers of all nationalities, excluding Kuwaiti and national staff, and does not affect teachers in private schools. Those impacted will be notified through the official "Sahil" application, with their legal rights safeguarded according to proper procedures. The exact number of Egyptian teachers affected has not yet been specified. However, the primary goal of the decision is to reduce the excess and create a balance between staffing numbers and the actual needs of schools.
