Kuwaitis English Proficiency Index 2018 Reveals Slight Improvement
The EF English Proficiency Index 2018 revealed that Kuwaitis do not speak English well, as Kuwait ranked 78th out of 88 countries in the index, reports Al- Qabas daily.
According to the index, Kuwait is among the countries at the lowest level and it ranked sixth out of nine countries in the Middle East. Lebanon, Iran, United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Syria ranked higher than Kuwait; while Oman, Saudi Arabia and Iraq ranked lower than Kuwait. Kuwait scored 45.64 percent in the index – a slight improvement in points between two years.
PoorÂ
The report said that although the ministries’ websites provide English language resources for students and teachers, and citizens study the language for 12 years; the performance of students in public schools is relatively poor. The report cited results of a study conducted in 2010, which attributed the poor performance to lack of preparation and proficiency among teachers.
