CAN'T MERGE LEAVE WITH HOLIDAYS IN KUWAIT

  • 14/04/2022

Kuwait City: The Ministry of Education has directed school administrations to cease issuing travel permits to teachers before and after official holidays and weekends. The newspaper got a copy of the ministry's circular to school administrations, which stated that based on the letter of the undersecretary dated January 6, 2015, school administrations are authorised to provide travel permits to non-Kuwaiti instructors as a competent authority in this regard. 


However, in order to maintain a smooth flow of work, a decision was made later to stop granting leave days before and after the weekend, at the end of the school year, and on official holidays such as National Day, Liberation Day, Eid Al-Fitr, Eid Al-Adha, Hijri New Year, Isra and Mi'raj, and the Prophet's (PBUH) birthday.

According to the ministry, it is against the law for an employee to take sick or emergency leave before or after a holiday or official leave. As a result, he should not be granted permission to travel on these days. A teacher on exceptional leave acquires his travel authorization from the Vacation and Final Departure Department in the relevant educational district, not the school administration.
