KD 40m for teachers’ indemnity

KUWAIT CITY, July 24: Professor at the Faculty of Business Studies in the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET) Dr Mohammad Al-Wattiyan has affirmed that the forged academic degrees disaster is the responsibility of the Ministry of Higher Education, reports Al-Anba daily.

He pointed out the ministry is supposed to check and evaluate the academic certificates before accreditation, especially in terms of regular attendance and study at the universities as well as following up the annual reports of students from cultural offices under its supervision.

He added he is confident that Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr Hamed Al-Azmi will refer erring officials and forgers of certificates to the Public Prosecution. He wondered, “Is it possible that a professor at PAAET obtained a doctorate degree in Physical Education from a Russian university within six months only and a department director acquires a doctorate degree in law from an Egyptian university within a year of scholarship and then appointed at the Faculty of Business Studies?” He also wondered how the MPs and ministers got their doctorate degrees without studying in universities which granted these degrees.

Sources revealed these teachers include those who reached the legal retirement age, those suffering from disabilities and those who applied for retirement.
