Ministry of Education: Supervisory Jobs Exams for Phase 4 Rescheduled for Nov 3-4

The Ministry of Education announced that Tuesday and Wednesday, November 3 and 4, 2026, have been designated as the dates for the re-examinations of supervisory positions for the fourth stage, covering the job categories of “school principal, assistant principal, and technical supervisor.” Examinations for the “department head” category will take place between December 7 and 17, 2026, in accordance with approved regulatory procedures and in collaboration with the University of Kuwait.

The Ministry clarified that the re-examinations for the fourth stage are being conducted in implementation of the decision to cancel previous examination results, based on the findings of the independent investigation committee. This move is part of corrective measures taken by the Ministry to address irregularities in the previous procedures, ensuring the integrity of the evaluation process and the reliability of its results, while safeguarding the rights of all applicants within the established legal and regulatory frameworks.

The Ministry emphasized that entrusting the administration of the examinations 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 the examination process. This approach leverages specialized academic and technical expertise in measurement and evaluation to provide an organized testing environment based on clear and uniform standards, ensuring fairness among all applicants.

The Ministry specified that examinations for the “school principal, assistant principal, and technical supervisor” categories will be held at the Measurement and Evaluation building at the University of Kuwait in two daily sessions. The first session will run from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and the second session from 5:45 PM to 6:45 PM. All applicants are urged to adhere strictly to the scheduled times for each candidate as indicated in their examination details.

Furthermore, applicants can access the electronic platform designated by the University of Kuwait to view their specific examination date and watch an instructional video detailing the building’s location and access procedures. The Ministry stressed the necessity of printing the examination entry card and bringing the original civil ID or passport. Applicants must arrive at least 45 minutes before their scheduled examination time to complete the required administrative procedures.

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

The Ministry noted that examinations for the “department head” category will be held between December 7 and 17, 2026, in collaboration with the University of Kuwait, under approved regulatory procedures to ensure standardized criteria and disciplined evaluation processes. Arrangements related to this category will be monitored according to mechanisms adopted by the Ministry in coordination with the university.

The Ministry stressed that the re-examinations represent a corrective step aimed at strengthening trust in the procedures for filling supervisory positions and reinforcing the principle of meritocracy based on competence and qualification. It reaffirmed its commitment to taking all necessary measures to ensure the integrity of the examinations and the reliability of their results, providing fair opportunities for all applicants. This supports the selection of qualified individuals capable of assuming leadership and supervisory responsibilities, contributing to the enhancement of educational and pedagogical performance and the public interest.
