Applications submitted for teaching roles in the 2025-2026 academic year to the Ministry of Education.
Directly diving into the 2025-2026 academic year, the Ministry of Education has kicked off its teacher recruitment drive, inviting applications across 14 educational specialties. This initiative is open to both Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis, with amendments reflecting updated staffing needs.
The recruitment campaign aims to fill 746 positions, covering a multitude of subjects. To give you a glimpse, these specializations include math, science, chemistry, physics, biology, geology, English, computer science, and music. Keep in mind, not every specialization is open to all applicants – for instance, males can apply for Arabic language and music education when they're the offspring of Kuwaiti women, and females can apply for English, mathematics, computer science, and music if they share the same familial lineage. However, physics is an exception here, as it is open regardless of familial ties.
Now, let's zero in on the application process. The announcement will be published on the Ministry's electronic recruitment portal, mainly under the "Local Contracting" section. To apply, Kuwaitis must submit their applications via the Civil Service Commission. In contrast, Gulf nationals, stateless persons (Bedoun), and expatriates can go ahead and apply directly through the recruitment portal.
However, not all positions covered in this campaign come under the Ministry's umbrella. The private and international sectors also offer teaching positions, albeit with different requirements and application processes. Securing a teaching position often requires visa sponsorship, unsurprisingly a common practice among private and international schools.
Finally, it's important to note that both the Ministry and private schools conduct stringent pre-employment checks, including qualification verification and employment history, to ensure that the right candidates are selected. For language-intensive positions such as English teachers, proficiency in English is typically a hard requirement.
So, there you have it! Whether you're a Kuwaiti seeking a teaching position or an expatriate open to exploring opportunities in Kuwait, the 2025-2026 academic year promises diverse and exciting possibilities across various educational sectors!
The recruitment drive initiated by the Ministry of Education for the 2025-2026 academic year extends to multiple subjects, encompassing education-and-self-development areas such as math, science, chemistry, physics, biology, geology, English, computer science, and music. Stay informed with general-news outlets to know the progress of this recruitment campaign and the application procedures.
