The Kuwaiti Ministry of Education has started a plan to terminate the contracts of 7,019 expatriate teachers, including those of Arab and other nationalities. This action is part of the first phase of addressing staff surpluses in public schools.
- Total surplus of 33,268 teachers across the country's education system
- Affected teachers receiving notices through the Sahel app
- Expected annual savings of approximately 42 million Kuwaiti dinars
Affected teachers are receiving official contract termination notices through the government-managed 'Sahel' application. According to the ministry, this measure is expected to result in an annual savings of approximately 42 million Kuwaiti dinars. The initiative is part of a broader 'Kuwaitization' policy designed to
prioritize employment for Kuwaiti citizens.
The group of teachers facing termination includes 1,551 men and 5,468 women. While reports primarily reference Arab nationalities, the category of 'other nationalities' may include Indian educators. Teachers who have received a termination notice are advised to contact the Indian Embassy or relevant consular services immediately for assistance. A detailed report regarding this development is forthcoming on gulfhindi.com.
