'KUWAIT'S CRISIS IS CAUSED BY INADEQUATE MANAGMENT RATHER THAN LACK OF FINANCIAL LIQUIDITY'

  • 15/04/2022

Kuwait City: Kuwait University slipped 200 places in the QS website index for the year 2022, ranking 1001 at the global level after previously being in the 801 category. This was not so much stunning to those who have been following the situation of Kuwait's administration since the turn of the millennium as it was symbolic of a new picture of the failure to provide a critical service — this time in higher education — while spending or wasting billions of dinars. 


The Kuwait University, which has spent an equivalent of 2.8 billion dinars out of a total of 3.5 billion on its new luxury buildings in the Shaddiyah area, and has a budget that is the highest among independent state institutions at the level of 560 million dinars annually, could not with these billions prevent the deterioration of its classification during the last ten years, about 400 places in the world university rankings, especially in terms of the lack of progress in the balances affecting the QS classification, which depends on a set of criteria such as academic reputation or the ratio of students to faculty members and the extent of the university’s attractiveness to students and professors.
