Published Date: December 28, 2011

KUWAIT: Minister of Education, Minister of Higher Education and Minister of Justice Ahmed Al-Mulaifi announced on Monday the launching of a new state-run university. "The project is an initial step in the government plan to launch new universities to meet the growing demand, and tap into the huge human resources of the country," he told reporters at the Ministry of Higher Education.

Al-Mulaifi made the remarks ahead of the first meeting of the Executive Board of the new university project, noting that vision and targets of the planned university will be separate from Kuwait University (KU). "The university will not only address the problem of KU's occupancy, but also provide a model for higher educational institutions in the Gulf region in terms of curricula, teaching staff and hi-tech equipment," he revealed.

Listing the tasks of the Executive Board of the new university, Al-Mulaifi said they include outlining regulatory frameworks, a vision, message and objectives of the new institution. The required faculties, specializations, curricula, semesters and the degrees also need to be determined.

The Board is mandated to outsource foreign academics and administrative experts if it deems it necessary for its mission, he added. The Board is made up of Dr Fadhel Al-Musallam, Dr Mohammad Hadi, Dr Bader Al-Bedeiwi, Dr Anwar Al-Fzei'e, Dr Abbas Al-Shemmeri, Dr Esam Al-Rubei'an, Dr Fahima Al-Awadhi, Dr Zahra Ali, Dr Maytham Safar, Dr Mohammad Al-Athma, Dr Adel Ahmad and Dr Mohammad Ahmad. They are all currently KU teaching staff. Mohsen Al-Muallem, advisor to the Minister, is also on the board. -KUNA
