  • 25/04/2022

Kuwait City: All educational zones have organised work teams in covert printing shops to carry out a variety of activities, including creating examination papers and preparing them for grades six through eleven tests. They added that each printing house has approximately 20 Kuwaiti and other members who are preparing for the exams at the conclusion of the 2021/2022 academic year. 


After being approved by the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Education, Dr. Ali Al- Yacoub, the six secret printing houses got the test forms for the aforementioned grades. The removal process will be carried out in accordance with the number of pupils, as well as certain emergency backup copies. The printing houses have been inoculated with some safeguards to protect the confidentiality of the tests and prevent their leakage. 

These measures include –
1. Providing each printing house with a number of surveillance cameras that are installed throughout the printing house
2. Forcing the employees to sign a written pledge for confidentiality and with the acknowledgment of bearing criminal responsibility in the event that the tests are exposed to leakage
3. Preventing workers from carrying any electronic devices or phones when working inside these printing houses
4. Ensuring the implementation of necessary security and safety measures at the workplace. In addition, the sources revealed an educational trend to reduce the number of individuals assigned to the examination control center of the ministry in its scientific and literary departments.
