KUWAIT CITY, June 10: The decision of Minister of Education and Higher Education Hamad Al-Adwani to suspend the scholarship for Kuwaitis studying Medicine, Pharmachology and Dentistry in Egypt and Jordan has drawn mixed parliamentary reactions.
A total of 12 newly elected MPs voiced objection to the decision, stressing the need for further studies in the interest of the students. These MPs include Falah Al- Hajri, Meteb Raathan Al-Zaidi, Muhammad Al- Mahan, Khalid Al-Tamar, Abdulhadi Al-Ajmi, Muhammad Al- Regaib, Mubarak Al-Tasha, Majed Al-Mutairi, Abdullah Fehad, Muhammad Hayef, Badr Sayyar Al-Shemmari and Badr Al-Anzi. Hayef said the decision damages the educational strategies and violates the regulations of the Accreditation Directorate at Kuwait University. He argued that correcting the errors should not bring about bigger problems. Fehad stated that the decision kills the ambition of excellent students, considering it does not specify alternative universities for the students.
