Sayed Jalal Al-Tabtabaei, has reiterated his stance against injustice, frequently stating, “I will not accept injustice,” during meetings with ministry leaders and field staff. His recent directive aims to stabilize the educational sector in Kuwait by addressing teacher transfer issues.

Cancellation of Compulsory Teacher Transfers

In a decisive move, Al-Tabtabaei has instructed the immediate cancellation of all decisions regarding the compulsory transfer of teachers. The minister emphasized that teachers should be reinstated to their previous work centers at the start of the second semester, ensuring that the educational process remains uninterrupted.

Preserving Stability in the Educational Sector

The Minister’s primary goal is to ensure stability within the educational sector. Al-Tabtabaei’s recent actions underscore his commitment to creating a conducive learning environment for both teachers and students. Teachers’ well-being and the quality of education are among his top priorities.

This decision aims to alleviate any unnecessary strain on teachers, preventing forced assignments to distant areas and supporting their work-life balance.
