KUWAIT CITY, July 23: The Ministry of Education has officially announced that all newly appointed Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti teachers are to begin their duties for the upcoming academic year on Sunday, August 24, 2025.

The directive was issued by Acting Assistant Undersecretary for General Education, Mansour Al-Dhafiri, in a formal letter addressed to the Undersecretary of the Administrative Sector.

In the letter, Al-Dhafiri referenced prior correspondence from the Assistant Undersecretary for Administrative Affairs and Administrative Development — specifically, Letter No. 972701 dated July 3, 2025, and Letter No. 944042 dated June 29, 2025 — both of which discussed the schedule for reporting to duty for the 2025/2026 academic year.

Al-Dhafiri confirmed that the start date applies to both Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti teachers and emphasized that this timeline is consistent with preparations for the first semester.

The decision ensures that all educational staff are present ahead of the school year’s official opening, allowing sufficient time for administrative procedures, orientation, and classroom readiness.

The Ministry continues to coordinate across relevant departments to ensure a smooth and timely start to the new academic term.
