Buses Should Be Provided For Students In All Areas’

Matrouk Al-Mutairi, Director of Supply and Stores at the Ministry of Education, said that 40,000 pieces of furniture (chairs and tables) have been distributed as part of the plan to replace damaged furniture, as well as the 85,000 requests received from all educational areas. He went on to say all requests will be fulfilled within two weeks at the latest, but according to limited quantities for each school and indicated that the implementation of furniture exchange requests is carried out according to the capabilities of the administration and its furniture availability, as it provides nearly half of the required quantity for each school, saying a new tender for furniture supply will be floated but this work is hampered by the documentary cycle.

Two tenders have been floated in this regard for food supply for kindergarten students, Al-Mutairi explained, and the companies have already begun implementing these contracts. In the remaining four areas, the ministry provided this service directly through the Kuwait Flour Mills Company until tenders were completed, which are currently being reviewed by the Audit Bureau.

Al-Mutairi stated that his administration has offered 4 tenders for school buses to provide transportation service in all educational areas, noting that it is likely that these tenders will be approved by the regulatory authorities soon, to be implemented at the beginning of the second semester of this year, pointing out that the maintenance contracts for areas in Jahra and the Capital are still with the Central Agency for Public Tenders, which prompted the administration to request direct contracting for the maintenance of some schools in the two regions until their contracts are approved by the regulatory authorities.
