Confirming what “Al-Anbaa” reported yesterday, the Ministry of Education announced the opening of registration for the National Program “Trainee Teacher” to attract qualified Kuwaiti nationals with non-educational university degrees. Registration runs from today, Sunday, until next Thursday via the “Dal” electronic platform, aiming to prepare qualified national educational and professional cadres to meet school needs for the 2026–2027 academic year.
In a press statement, the Ministry emphasized that the targeted specialties include various scientific, literary, and artistic fields, such as mathematics, science, chemistry, physics, biology, geology, French, philosophy, Chinese, Spanish, law, commercial and industrial specialties, electricity, electronics, computer science, and music education.
It clarified that the total number of positions required across all announced specialties is 1,020 male and female teachers from Kuwaiti nationals. Registration is open to citizens, whether they are registered with the Civil Service Bureau as job seekers or not, provided they meet the approved criteria and conditions for joining the program.
The Ministry added that submitting an application does not constitute final acceptance, as candidate selection depends on meeting the stipulated conditions and the Ministry’s needs in specific specialties. The Ministry outlined the eligibility requirements for the program, which include being a Kuwaiti national, not exceeding 35 years of age at the time of application, holding a bachelor’s degree in one of the required specialties, submitting a police clearance certificate issued by the Ministry of Interior, providing a drug test result, and passing the prescribed medical examination in accordance with approved regulations and procedures.
The program spans one academic year and follows a qualification track that combines 45% theoretical study with 55% field training. This approach aims to enable participants to acquire the necessary educational and professional knowledge and skills and apply them in real educational settings under supervision and evaluation, thereby enhancing their ability to meet the demands of educational work.
The Ministry stressed that the National Program “Trainee Teacher” represents one of the developmental initiatives aimed at building a sustainable teacher preparation system based on professional qualification, competency standards, and actual needs. This initiative seeks to enhance the participation of national cadres in developing education and supports the preparation of qualified Kuwaiti male and female teachers to contribute to improving the quality of educational outcomes and achieving the goals of the educational system.
