Expat Teachers Join 1000 Other Teachers In Filing Case Against Moe
Scores of expatriate teachers of government schools joined thousand other teachers to file a case against Ministry of Education in which they compelled the ministry to cancel the decision of reducing their housing allowance from KD 150 to KD 60, and reimburse the deducted monthly amount of KD 90 retroactively from April 2011.
Such a move was made after the new Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr Mohammad Al-Fares, similar to his predecessor Dr Bader Al-Essa, declared that the ministry is striving to ensure the decision to reduce the housing allowance is reviewed.
In the same context, sources affiliated to the ministry said first batch of 20 expatriate teachers filed a case against the ministry last Thursday to demand the reinstatement of housing allowance in full. They indicated that more batches of teachers will follow in the coming days to demand the rights of about 40,000 expatriate teachers in the government schools.
The sources explained that the cases were filed after the expiry of the 60 days stipulated by the law for filing grievances as the initial legal step. However, the ministry did not do anything serious to respond to their grievances, which was in demand for stopping the deduction of KD 90 from their housing allowances. Therefore, the teachers took the next legal step, which is to file a case against the government.
