An Oversight Committee Will Examine the Teachers' Licensing Initiative

 
 
 

A Kuwaiti oversight team reviewing documents for the teacher's licensing initiative has completed the preliminary draft of the teacher's license, which consists of two distinct tracks - administrative and technical.

On Sept 30, this draft will be presented to Dr. Adel Al-Manea, Minister of Education and Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research. It will be decided after this when the implementation will take place as well as how the application process will be handled within schools.

A source within the education industry told Al-Rai that the license will be applicable to educational staff members, school principals, assistant principals, and technical mentors. However, the application will vary based on the administrative and technical tracks.

Al-Manea will play a crucial role in determining if the license will apply exclusively to new teachers or to all educators.

Dr. Fawzi Al-Dokhi, Assistant Dean of Admission and Registration at the General Authority for Applied Education and Training and Professor of Curricula and Teaching Methods, was at the helm of the review team on April 9.

This team includes seven notable figures from the educational domain, whose roles are defined as establishing the mechanism for implementing the teacher's license and developing the field application strategy. Additionally, they must outline the project's administrative, legislative, and technical prerequisites.
