Kuwait's Education Ministry has issued a directive confirming that remote learning will remain in effect for kindergarten, elementary, and intermediate schools until the conclusion of the current academic year. This decision ensures that younger students continue their education through digital platforms for the remainder of the term, prioritizing safety and continuity in the early stages of schooling.
In contrast, higher education institutions are moving toward a return to physical campuses. The Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts has announced the resumption of in-person final exams for the current semester, commencing on Sunday, May 3, 2026. This shift marks a significant step back to traditional assessment methods for arts students after a period of remote evaluation.
Similarly, the Australian University (AU) has confirmed a return to on-campus activities for specific programs. As of Sunday, May 3, 2026, aviation students will resume in-person classes.
Furthermore, the university declared that final exams for the current semester across its programs will be conducted on campus. The institution stated that these decisions align with the instructions issued by the Private Universities Council, reflecting a coordinated effort among private sector educational bodies to restore face-to-face academic operations.
Students and faculty at these institutions are advised to prepare for the transition to physical classrooms and examination halls, adhering to any specific health or safety protocols that may accompany the return to campus life.
