Egyptian teachers in Kuwait crisis updates
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Education announced that it will terminate the services of approximately 7,019 teachers of various Arab and other nationalities, in disciplines where studies have shown a surplus. This measure is part of a gradual plan to restore balance between the number of teachers and the needs of schools. The decision covers disciplines such as Arabic, English, Islamic Education, and Arts across different educational levels, with an emphasis on avoiding random dismissals and instead relying on the specific fields and educational stages. Education officials confirmed that the Egyptian teachers affected are not directly under the Egyptian Ministry of Education, and those seconded to work in Kuwait continue their assignments in accordance with their agreements. Education pioneers and the teachers' union expressed their discontent with the timing of the decision's announcement at the start of the school year, calling for solutions to ensure the employment continuity of the teachers and their return to Egyptian schools. They also stressed the importance of cooperation between Egyptian and Kuwaiti unions to find job opportunities for them and achieve professional stability.
