Living in Kuwait:
A heady mix of market bazaars and gleaming skyscrapers along a glistening coast, Kuwait is your prototypical oil-rich state, and travellers looking for a relaxed entry into the Muslim world can look forward to wandering around mosques, souks, and other sandy traces of bygone Bedouin days. Behind the glitzy opulence lies a deep sense of traditional values and warm Arabian hospitality. Kuwait City and the surrounding communities are developing into buzzing metropolises with gleaming high rises, numerous luxury hotels, brand new shopping malls, lots of cafes and restaurants, cinemas, and lush parks set along wide avenues.

Primary teachers must have either a Bachelor of Education in Primary or a first degree in a core primary curriculum subject and a postgraduate certificate in primary teaching. Secondary teachers must have a first degree and a teaching certificate that matches their subject.
