Ministry Of Education Initiates Retirement Process For 173 Staff Members

08 May 2024 Kuwait

In a strategic move aimed at optimizing staffing and ensuring a seamless transition in the educational sector, the Ministry of Education has announced its intention to refer 173 teachers and administrative officials to retirement. This decision stems from their completion of a service period exceeding 34 years, spanning both the academic year 2023-2024 and the Gregorian year 2024.

Informed sources within the Ministry revealed that the administrative sector is currently in the final stages of processing retirement referrals. This involves obtaining approvals from insurance companies and verifying eligibility for retirement pensions.

The Ministry has meticulously compiled a list of eligible candidates, primarily Kuwaiti nationals, who have fulfilled the requisite 34 years of service. Coordination with the Social Insurance Institution has identified 167 citizens eligible for retirement, comprising 156 teachers/supervisors and 11 administrative officials. Additionally, four non-Kuwaiti resident teachers and administrators are also slated for retirement.

This list encompasses educators from diverse specializations, ranging from school principals to mentors and observers. The retirement process is proposed to be staggered, with stage-specific referrals for educators by the end of the academic year. Administrative officials not directly involved in school operations are expected to be retired by the conclusion of 2024.
