KUWAIT CITY, June 24: Even though more than six months have passed since interviews were held for kindergarten mentors, among whom seven were selected as mentors for the six educational zones and for the private education sector, the Ministry of Education is still procrastinating in announcing the successes of these interviews and issuing their decisions despite an urgent need to appoint them, reports Aljarida daily. In confirmation of the news that the daily published on October 9 last year regarding the complete void that threatens the kindergarten stage with the retirement of the head mentor Nadia Al- Musallam, educational sources affirmed that 11 technical directors for this stage had applied for interviews for promotion to the position of director of the educational zone.
The sources explained that the applicants had completed electronic tests and underwent interviews according to regulations and systems since mid-December 2022. The Ministry of Education conducted the interviews in December to avoid a vacuum in the position of Al-Musallam, who was about to retire at the end of that month and was to be present to complete those interviews. The sources expressed their surprise by the continued procrastination of the Public Education Sector in announcing the successful female candidates and appointing them to their positions despite the urgent need for conducting work in the educational zones.
They stressed that the absence of mentors for this stage hinders conducting interviews for Kindergarten teachers who have succeeded in the electronic tests and are waiting for their turn for interviews for promotion to a technical supervisor position, as the presence of a first female leader in the committee is a prerequisite for its convening. The sources indicated that all other educational supervisory positions have been interviewed or are currently undergoing interviews, and the successful ones will be appointed to their new jobs at a time when kindergarten jobs remain idle. They called for the intervention of the Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr. Hamad Al-Adwani to end this crisis, so that interviews for kindergarten teachers can start for promotions to supervisory positions, which also require time to be ready before the start of the new academic year.
