The Ministry of Education announced the opening of applications for teaching staff, administrative personnel, and supporting technical positions within the “Schools for the Gifted” project. This developmental initiative is overseen by the Gifted Office under the Office of the Minister of Education, with the aim of building an integrated national system to identify, nurture, and develop the abilities and talents of gifted students.

The Ministry clarified that admission and selection criteria prioritize Kuwaiti candidates or those with a Kuwaiti mother. Applicants must hold a university degree in the required specialization. For teaching staff, the university degree must be in the specific field required for the educational position, in addition to achieving an “Excellent” grade during the last two years.

Furthermore, essential conditions include a minimum of two years of practical experience, with preference given to candidates who have prior experience working with gifted students or who have demonstrated outstanding achievements in their field of specialization. Proficiency in using computers and their applications is also required.

Additional requirements include submitting a “no criminal record” certificate and ensuring that the applicant’s employment record is free from administrative penalties. Candidates must also possess the necessary academic qualifications and professional experience to address the needs of gifted students and to work effectively in a specialized educational environment.

The Ministry of Education noted that applicants will undergo an admission test and a personal interview. Final selection will be made through a competitive ranking system to ensure the recruitment of the most qualified and capable individuals who can contribute to nurturing gifted students, developing their abilities, and achieving the project’s objectives.

The Ministry invited interested candidates to register electronically via the “Mawqoof” platform between August 23 and August 30, completing the required data and attaching all necessary documents in accordance with the specified application guidelines.

The Ministry emphasized its commitment to attracting qualified educational, administrative, and technical personnel to work in a specialized educational environment dedicated to identifying gifted students, nurturing their talents, and developing their abilities.
