KUWAIT CITY, Nov 1: Acting Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr Mohammad Al-Fares has asked the Civil Service Commission (CSC) chairperson to submit the letter requesting for exemption of teachers and technical instructors from the fingerprint attendance system to the Civil Service Council for approval, reports Al-Anba daily.
