KUWAIT CITY, July 3: Minister of Education Eng. Sayed Jalal Al-Tabtabaei has issued a directive to suspend the use of the Ministry’s facilities and assets by external parties until new regulations are approved to govern such usage.

In a press statement released on Wednesday, the Ministry of Education announced the suspension of Ministerial Resolution No. 79 of 2003, which previously allowed third-party access to ministry-owned buildings and movables. The move is part of broader efforts by the state to enhance resource efficiency, ensure financial sustainability, and implement comprehensive reform measures.

The ministry clarified that all pending applications for the use of its facilities will be put on hold until the new regulatory framework is finalized and approved. Additionally, existing licenses and contracts between the ministry and external entities will be reviewed in accordance with the suspended resolution and in alignment with the forthcoming guidelines.

Authorities concerned have been instructed to take note of the decision and ensure full compliance with its implementation.
