KUWAIT CITY, Jan 23: Parents and students in Kuwait are protesting the closure of the CBSE section at an Indian school in Abbasiya, which serves hundreds of Indian students. The school's chairman recently issued an official notice to parents, informing them of the decision to close the CBSE section. The management explained that the closure is part of the expansion plan, which began in 2022.
The closure has left the future of many students uncertain. Although the management has promised to transfer some students to a nearby school with having CBSE curriculum, parents remain skeptical about the practicality of this solution. The CBSE section, which was established nine years ago, is now being shut down, and some parents have voiced concerns that the decision is motivated by financial profit rather than educational needs. They worry that the move will negatively impact the mental health of students who will soon be relocated to a different school.
While the management claims that the closure is due to a low number of students who have opted for the CBSE curriculum, some parents suggest the shift in preference toward the international curriculum is a contributing factor. Reports indicate that parents are now exploring further actions to address their grievances and seek a resolution.
