KUWAIT: Minister of Education Dr Bader Al-Essa denied increasing the minimum grades needed to accept students at Kuwait University (KU) in the coming academic year. Essa added that the ministry had some academic restrictions about certain British and American universities, adding alternatives would be offered to students planning to study in these countries. On a different concern, Essa issued a decision on forming a supreme committee for school evening clubs in various educational areas.
Manager of information systems at the ministry of education Tareq Al-Marzouq denied signing an agreement with a national company to provide a connection between cultural attaches and students abroad at a total cost of over KD 4 million, and stressed that it was his department that initiated the project at a cost of not more than KD 100,000.
Lands’ transfer
MP Ahmad Al-Qudhaibi warned Minister of Justice and Minister of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs Yaqoub Al-Sane and the Head of the Fatwa and Legislation Department Salah Al-Musaad of excluding lands transferred by individuals to private companies from paying the proper fees that go up to millions of dinars. “This is violation of public funds,” he stressed, warning that both Sane and Musaad were actually in the process of doing so and that he cannot remain silent about it.
