200 private schools in Kuwait suspended
As per Kuwait Times , The Ministry of Education (MOE) has suspended the files of around 200 Arabic and foreign private schools for violating the rules and regulations set by the ministry,
said informed educational sources, noting that the decision led to freezing around 800 transactions mainly concerning renewing teachers’ and staff residency visas because they were only doable through the private education directorate.
The sources explained that most violations were in the form of unlawfully increasing tuition fees and not paying teachers wages stipulated in various ministry decisions.
The sources added said that the affected schools urged the MOE assistant undersecretary for private education to help complete the transactions to avoid legal accountability if teachers and staff members’ residencies expire.
