KUWAIT CITY, Sept 22: Jahra Governor Hamad Jassim Al-Habashi emphasized the critical role of the Ministry of Education in motivating Kuwaiti youth to embrace a culture of environmental conservation. He proposed the introduction of a subject focused on environmental issues and related laws, aimed at educating students on preservation methods and involving them in clean-up campaigns supported by civil society organizations.

His remarks came following the Al-Khuwaisat Beach cleaning campaign, organized by the (Kafo) platform in conjunction with World Cleanup Day. Al-Habashi stated that the governorate fully supports events and activities that promote the cleanliness of Kuwait. He highlighted that the beach cleaning initiative is designed to educate children and young people about the importance of maintaining Kuwait's environment and instilling positive behaviors regarding cleanliness among citizens and residents.

Governor Al-Habashi noted that the participation of volunteers and diplomats in the beach cleanup reflects a growing societal commitment to environmental preservation. He expressed hope that the Ministry of Education will take a leading role in environmental education by introducing relevant subjects across all age groups. This approach aims to instill principles of patriotism and foster a love for preserving the cleanliness of the homeland's environment through active involvement in activities such as beach and desert clean-up campaigns.
