Kuwait revokes license of Iranian private school, orders closure before new academic year

According to the Arab Times Kuwait, the Kuwaiti Ministry of Education has officially revoked the educational license of the Iranian Private School. The ministry has issued a formal order for the institution to cease all operations and close its doors prior to the commencement of the upcoming academic year.

While the specific administrative reasons for the revocation were not immediately detailed in the initial announcement, the move follows a series of regulatory reviews concerning private educational institutions operating within the country. The ministry has directed the school's administration to comply with the closure order and manage the transition for affected students and staff.

This decision marks a significant development for the Iranian expatriate community in Kuwait, as the school has served as a primary educational facility for many families. The Ministry of Education is expected to provide further guidance to parents regarding the enrollment of students in alternative institutions to ensure that the academic progress of the affected pupils is not disrupted by the closure.
