What is Gulf Council Countries (GCC)

The social capital gap in education in Kuwait's public vs. private schools, including early stages to higher education, is a serious phenomenon that requires intervention. This chapter uses a qualitative approach to explore the rationales behind disadvantaged boys in public schools compared to their peers in private schools. Differences in school visits indicated a need for interventions directed toward students with unqualified teachers and a primitive educational paradigm. The chapter concludes with an alteration to the culture of human resources as well as building capabilities for improved outcomes among boys in public schools in Kuwait. Achieving these goals will require a strong education system enriched with highly qualified human resources teams and an insight to cultural circumstances.
