The Ministry of Education has announced that schools in Kuwait will be shifting to online studies tomorrow, Thursday. This decision applies to all public and private schools in the country, affecting students of all grade levels.
According to Ahmed Al-Wahida, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Education, this decision is based on reports received from the Meteorological Department of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The department has forecasted unstable weather conditions, including heavy rains, which prompted the ministry to take preemptive action and convert in-person classes to online learning.
The Ministry of Education is deeply committed to ensuring the continuity of education for all students. Al-Wahida emphasized that the necessary measures have been taken to facilitate distance learning, and the educational field has been prepared accordingly.
Al-Wahida urged everyone to strictly adhere to the instructions provided by the Ministry of Education and to follow its official social media accounts for the latest updates regarding the study arrangements.
Prior to the official announcement, there was extensive coordination between officials from the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Works, and the Meteorological Department. It was confirmed that a second wave of rain was expected, and in order to prioritize the safety of students, the decision was made to transition from in-person attendance to distance education using the approved “Teams” program.
Dr. Adel Al-Mana, the Minister of Education and Higher Education, has directed officials in the ministry to activate e-learning in emergency situations and to ensure that the study is not disrupted under any circumstances.
It is important to note that the school closure and transition to online learning only applies to students. Teachers and administrators will continue to work in attendance, ensuring that the educational process remains uninterrupted.
