KUWAIT CITY, Oct 16: Assistant Undersecretary for Public Education Affairs Mansour Al-Dhafiri has approved a set of new amendments to the powers granted to educational zones in integrated systems and schools, due to the granting of many powers to some educational zones over integrated systems, with the necessity to adhere to limiting these powers to the specified systems.
It is essential for employees to adhere to the approved functional rules and procedures to ensure a smooth workflow. The new amendments include directives regarding attendance and departure reports, aimed at strengthening the monitoring of employees’ compliance with official working hours through daily reports and reports on exceptional cases. The procedures also highlight the importance of personal attendance, and discouraging repeated reliance on sick leave without official permission supported by medical reports.
These amendments are part of a broader plan to organize the job evaluation process, which will be divided into two components: employee evaluation and the evaluation of members. Stricter standards will be applied to ensure fairness and accuracy in assessing employee performance, with measures in place to address any violations or misconduct.
The amendments also introduce a new follow-up system designed to expedite the evaluation processes and prevent any administrative infractions.
