Acting Undersecretary of the ministry Mohammad Al-Khalidi issued a general circular urging the employees to access the official website of the ministry, specifically the ‘Administrative Services’ icon – ‘My Academic Certificates’ and upload a photocopy of the academic qualification and equivalency issued by the Ministry of Higher Education. He said his should be done within a period not exceeding one month from the date of the issuance of the circular for administrators, and until Sept 30 for the teaching and administrative staff in schools.

The Ministry of Education explained that the steps for uploading documents are as follows: log into the e-services, click ‘My Academic Certificates’, ‘Add Academic Certificates’, ‘Questions about Academic Certificates’, and then select the attachment to be uploaded in PDF format. At the same time, it stressed the need to adhere to the deadlines to avoid disciplinary action that may be taken by the relevant authorities. It added that employees who previously uploaded their academic certificates can verify if they are in the system by following the same steps outlined above to ensure that the data are correct and up-to-date.
