KUWAIT BLOCKS HIRING FOREIGN TEACHERS

  • 01/04/2021

Kuwait City : The Civil Service Commission in Kuwait has blocked the hiring of foreign teachers to teach history in the country. The Commission has informed the Education Ministry that there are qualified Kuwaiti citizens and to appoint them.The blockage was made  in response to a letter from the Education Ministry asking about the possibility of appointing experienced non-Kuwaiti history teachers to offset a shortage in the subject, sources in the commission said.


This rejection comes in implementation of decree No 17/2017 giving priority to Kuwaitis, and then to children of non-Kuwaiti men married to Kuwaiti women, in getting appointed in governmental agencies provided that there are no Kuwaitis registered with the commission in the required specialties.In recent months, there have been increasing calls in Kuwait for curbing foreigners’ employment amid accusations that migrant workers have strained the country’s infrastructure facilities.
