In 2010, the Government of Kuwait, in partnership with the World Bank, launched a bold, systemic reform of its education system. The reform encompasses the introduction of a competence-based curriculum across general education; developing a conducive environment for effective teaching; enabling schools to be active centres of learning; strengthening systems for enhanced accountability and evidence-based decision-making.
