       Two-stage plan unveiled to tackle forgery of academic certificates

       KUWAIT CITY, July 18: In a bid to address the issue of forged academic certificates, the Ministry of Education is launching a plan to safeguard the certificates it issues and receives. This initiative involves establishing a joint electronic link with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and will be implemented in two stages.

       The Central Agency for Information Technology, representing Kuwait in the Executive Committee for e-Government, has requested various ministries and government agencies to propose joint e-services between Kuwait and GCC countries. This step aims to combat manipulation and forgery, enhance cooperation, and promote integration in e-government across the GCC.

       In response, the Ministry of Education has proposed a two-stage plan:

       The Information Technology Authority’s “Shared Electronic Services” working group has held several meetings to discuss and finalize a list of important shared electronic services between GCC countries. The goal is to identify common e-services that align with the vision of GCC member states, enhancing secure e-government’s role in sustainable development and improving public sector efficiency and Gulf integration.

       The Authority is open to incorporating any technically ready electronic services proposed by ministries and local government agencies, provided they significantly impact GCC citizens and are feasible to implement.
