Ministry of Education: Supervisory jobs exams for Phase 4 rescheduled to November 3 and 4

Alaa Khalifa: The Ministry of Education announced that Tuesday and Wednesday, corresponding to November 3 and 4, 2026, have been designated as the dates for retaking the supervisory job exams for the fourth stage of the functional categories (school principal, assistant principal, and technical advisor). The exams for the category of department head will take place between December 7 and 17, 2026, in accordance with approved regulatory procedures and in cooperation with the University of Kuwait.

The Ministry clarified that the retake of the fourth-stage exams is implemented in execution of the decision to cancel the results of previous exams, based on the findings of the neutral investigation committee, and within the framework of corrective measures taken by the Ministry to address irregularities that marred previous procedures. This aims to ensure the integrity of the evaluation process and the reliability of its results, while safeguarding the rights of all applicants in accordance with approved legal and regulatory frameworks.

The Ministry emphasized that entrusting the implementation of the exams to the University of Kuwait, represented by its Measurement and Evaluation Center, is part of new regulatory procedures aimed at enhancing neutrality and transparency in exam administration. This leverages specialized academic and technical expertise in the field of measurement and evaluation, contributing to an organized testing environment based on clear and uniform standards that ensure fairness among all applicants.

The Ministry indicated that the exams for the functional categories (school principal, assistant principal, and technical advisor) will be held at the Measurement and Evaluation building at the University of Kuwait in two daily sessions. The first session runs from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, while the second session runs from 5:45 PM to 6:45 PM. The Ministry called on all applicants to adhere to the specific schedules assigned to each candidate as detailed in their exam data.

Furthermore, the Ministry stated that applicants can access the dedicated electronic link provided by the University of Kuwait to view their assigned exam date and watch an instructional video outlining the building’s location and access procedures. It stressed the necessity of printing the exam entry card and bringing the original civil ID or passport. Applicants are required to arrive at least 45 minutes before their scheduled exam time to complete the necessary regulatory procedures.

Regarding the nature of the exams, the Ministry clarified that they will follow a multiple-choice format. It confirmed that the approved scientific content is identical to the content previously designated for the fourth-stage exams, as available in the brochures published on the official website of the Ministry of Education, with no changes to the required study material. This ensures clarity regarding preparation requirements for all applicants.

The Ministry noted that the exams for the “department head” category will be held between December 7 and 17, 2026, in cooperation with the University of Kuwait, within the framework of approved regulatory procedures for exam implementation. This aims to ensure the standardization of criteria and discipline in evaluation procedures. Arrangements related to this category will be monitored according to mechanisms adopted by the Ministry in coordination with the University.
