The Ministry clarified in a press statement that the total number of employees listed on the entitlement rolls reached 99,754, comprising staff working in schools, kindergartens, and institutes across various educational districts, as well as employees in the General Administration of Religious Education and Special Education. This list was prepared by the General Administration of Human Resources and Employee Affairs.
The Ministry specified that the distribution of entitled individuals included 24,457 in the Ahmadi Educational District, 19,912 in the Farwaniya Educational District, 16,108 in the Jahra Educational District, 14,242 in the Capital Educational District, 11,417 in the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Educational District, and 10,280 in the Hawalli Educational District, in addition to 3,338 in the General Administration of Religious Education and Special Education.
The Ministry emphasized that the determination of entitlements was based on Ministerial Decision No. (146), issued on August 3, 2026, concerning the regulations for granting financial bonuses for excellent services to employees in institutes, schools, and kindergartens for the academic year 2025/2026. This followed verification that all approved conditions and criteria were met, primarily including performance evaluation, length of service, and actual working days, alongside other established regulations.
To facilitate procedures and enhance transparency, the Ministry of Education announced the availability of an electronic service, coordinated with the Information Systems Administration. This service allows employees in the teaching and administrative staff of general education, religious education, and special education schools to inquire about their eligibility for the excellent performance bonus for the academic year 2025/2026 through the Ministry’s official website.
The Ministry clarified that the service will be available for two weeks, enabling employees to view their bonus entitlement status electronically. In cases of non-entitlement, the associated reasons will be displayed according to approved data and regulations, allowing employees to clearly understand their status and facilitating inquiry procedures.
The Ministry added that the electronic appeals service will be announced on its official website after the disbursement of excellent performance bonuses is completed. This will allow employees to submit their appeals electronically, which will then be reviewed and examined by competent authorities in accordance with approved conditions, regulations, and procedures.
The Ministry of Education concluded by reaffirming its continued efforts to finalize procedures related to employees' financial entitlements, in recognition of their efforts to support the educational process and improve its outcomes. It stressed its commitment to completing disbursement procedures, depositing bonuses into the bank accounts of entitled individuals, and providing electronic services that help employees access information regarding their financial entitlements.
