As part of an audit to verify the authenticity of academic certificates held by employees of state entities, government agencies have sent notifications via the “Sahl” application to several of their staff members, requiring them to re-upload their academic certificates for verification and to address any deficiencies. A government source told Al-Qabas that this step was taken in implementation of the Cabinet’s directives regarding the verification of certificates and the exposure of fake credentials. The source emphasized that the Civil Service Bureau continuously monitors employees’ certificate files in coordination with relevant authorities, in addition to liaising with Kuwaiti cultural offices abroad to detect any forged certificates and to confirm the accreditation of universities. The source urged those who received notifications through “Sahl” to visit their workplaces and comply with the requirements to submit their academic certificates, noting the necessity of uploading the certificates through the dedicated website for each entity.
On another note, the source revealed that many government entities continue to submit lists to the Civil Service Bureau containing the certificates of employees whose qualifications are “not recognized” and were issued by non-recognized universities. The source added that meetings have been held by the Academic Certificates Committee to review and follow up on the certificates identified in government entities, and that a meeting will soon be convened to discuss various issues related to non-recognized certificates.
