KUWAIT CITY, Aug 12: The Ministry of Education resolved the issue on suspending the payment of the salaries of teachers who have been absent with a compelling excuse; stressing that “these teachers’ salaries will remain suspended during the summer vacation and there will be no work for them upon their arrival, because schools are closed and they have to wait until the beginning of the new school year. This applies to Kuwaiti teachers as well,” reports Al-Rai daily quoting a source from the educational sector. The source told the daily that “the ministry is aware of the humanitarian and coercive aspects of the issue concerning stranded teachers, but it is committed to the instructions of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) as any transgression in this regard will put it under the scrutiny of supervisory authorities.” On the other hand, the source confirmed the formation of a committee in the Administrative Sector to discuss the excellent job performance incentive of about 80,000 teachers for fiscal 2020/2021; indicating “the Financial Sector has completed the procedures for administrators assigned in the head office of the ministry and the educational districts, including those with valid grievances.”
