Kuwait School Suspension follows an incident in which several female students suffered suffocation at a secondary school. Education Minister Jalal Al Tabtabaei ordered the school administration suspended for three months while authorities investigate. Meanwhile, the ministry appointed a replacement administration to keep classes running normally during the investigation.
The Education Ministry said the temporary administration would maintain a safe and stable environment for students. Officials also want the school to continue its educational activities without disruption during the investigation period. Therefore, the replacement team will oversee daily operations while authorities examine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
Minister Al Tabtabaei visited the affected students after the incident to check their health and wellbeing. He also followed up on the medical care they received from health professionals. During the visit, the minister stressed that student safety remains one of the ministry’s main priorities.
Initial findings indicated that several female students took part in circumstances connected to the incident. The ministry subsequently applied educational and disciplinary measures under existing student conduct regulations. Officials classified the reported actions as serious behavioural violations under the applicable rules.
However, authorities continue investigating the incident and have not yet completed their assessment. Investigators aim to establish what happened and identify the circumstances that led to the students’ health problems. They will also determine responsibility among everyone involved after reviewing the available information.
The ministry said authorities would take legal, administrative, and disciplinary action against anyone found responsible. Officials will base those measures on the investigation’s final findings and applicable regulations. Consequently, the authorities will wait for the completed investigation before determining any further accountability.
Kuwait School Suspension will remain in effect for three months as investigators continue their work. During this period, the replacement administration will manage the school and maintain normal educational activities. The ministry expects the temporary arrangement to support stability while authorities examine the incident.
The education minister also ordered continued monitoring of the affected students’ health. School officials will coordinate with relevant authorities to ensure students receive appropriate medical attention. This follow-up will continue while medical teams assess the students’ condition and provide necessary care.
The Education Ministry also recognised the response from the Health Ministry and medical teams. Officials thanked healthcare workers for responding quickly and treating the affected students. Their involvement formed part of the immediate response following the reported incident at the school.
Meanwhile, the ministry stressed that authorities will not tolerate behaviour that threatens student safety. Officials extended that warning to conduct that could endanger teachers, staff, or the wider school community. The ministry said existing regulations provide mechanisms for addressing serious violations and negligence.
Authorities will continue reviewing the circumstances surrounding the students’ reported suffocation. The investigation will consider available information before officials determine whether additional measures remain necessary. Furthermore, the ministry said it would respond to any findings that require further administrative or disciplinary action.
The incident has prompted the education authorities to focus on both student welfare and school management. By appointing a temporary administration, the ministry aims to preserve normal classes during the investigation. At the same time, officials continue monitoring the affected students and coordinating their medical follow-up.
Kuwait School Suspension reflects the ministry’s immediate administrative response while investigators establish the facts. The three-month measure separates the school’s management from the ongoing investigation without stopping educational activities. Officials will review the situation again as investigators provide further findings and recommendations.
The ministry has not announced a final conclusion regarding responsibility for the incident. Instead, authorities continue gathering information and reviewing the circumstances surrounding the students’ health problems. Further decisions will depend on the investigation’s findings and the relevant education regulations.
The Education Ministry said it would continue following the case until authorities complete their investigation. Officials will also introduce any additional measures necessary to protect students and maintain school stability. For now, the replacement administration will oversee the school while authorities work to establish the full circumstances.
