KUWAIT: The Ministry of Education now accepts retired citizens in the field to assist with their educational experience in order to occupy vacant positions in managerial, technical and professional positions in accordance with the Civil Service Commissions' requirements.

"The agreement came after the request to acquire experienced retirees to solve educational issues in cooperation between the ministry and the Kuwait Teachers Society (KTS), as well as to prepare for the upcoming 2022/2023 academic year," said the head of Kuwait Teachers Society (KTS), Hamad Al-Houli.

The agreement came after the MOE's official request that it doesn't mind the help of retirees' expertise in the field. The head of KTS also expressed gratitude to the undersecretary of MOE Dr Ali Al-Yaqoub, on his cooperation and swift response to the important issues facing the educational field before the start of the academic year. "The KTS will follow closely the issues concerning teachers and their rights in cooperation with the MOE," Houli added.
