Amin (Private Universities): Empowering students is a fundamental pillar for meeting Kuwait's development needs

Kuwait City, July 17 (KUNA) – The Secretary-General of the Council of Private Universities, Dr. Jassem Al-Ali, affirmed today, Friday, that empowering students to choose academic pathways that align with their abilities and the needs of the labor market constitutes a fundamental pillar in preparing national cadres that keep pace with development requirements and contribute to supporting comprehensive development efforts.

Speaking to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) at the conclusion of the first phase of the “Build Your Future” awareness and guidance campaign for internal scholarships, which launched last Tuesday at The Avenues Mall, Al-Ali noted that the campaign has witnessed significant interest and engagement. The Secretariat’s booth received more than 1,600 male and female students, reflecting the campaign’s importance in raising awareness about the internal scholarships plan for the 2026/2027 academic year.

He added that the campaign continues to fulfill its awareness and guidance mission, with the General Secretariat continuing to receive students at the visitors’ hall in its headquarters at Al-Sanabel Tower to answer their inquiries and provide necessary guidance in preparation for the registration period for the internal scholarships plan, scheduled from August 3 to 13.

He pointed out that the continuation of the campaign comes within the framework of the keenness to support students and empower them to make informed academic decisions that realize their academic and professional aspirations, meet labor market needs, and align with the development requirements of the State of Kuwait.
