KUWAIT CITY, July 3: The Minister of Education and Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Adel Al-Adwani, has approved the recommendations from the Ministry of Education's investigation committee regarding high school certificates issued by Arab countries and certified by the General Administration of Private Education. Certificates issued by Gulf and Arab countries and other regions have been referred to the Public Prosecution, their equivalency withdrawn, and relevant authorities contacted to correct the procedures.

Dr. Al-Adwani emphasized that he is taking concrete measures to enforce the law and is committed to combating violations to continue the reform process and build the country's future. Additionally, he approved the Legal Sector at the Ministry of Higher Education's recommendation to refer post-secondary school certificates to the Public Prosecution for submitting falsified documents and altering certificate data to obtain equivalency.

Dr. Al-Adwani reiterated his commitment to combating the phenomenon of forged certificates, noting that referring these violating certificates to the Public Prosecution is only the first stage. Further referrals will follow to eliminate this threat to the education system and labor market. The aim is to uphold integrity and transparency in society by imposing strict oversight and control over work procedures, ensuring that unqualified individuals do not gain opportunities unfairly. This effort seeks to maintain the integrity, quality, and productivity of work, positively impacting the labor market and national economy.
