       Regarding the initiative presented by the society, Eng. Al-Attal explained that it aims to fill the shortage of national cadres specialized in teaching scientific subjects such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, statistics, science and others. This will be done through a postgraduate program to qualify engineers to work in the teaching profession in the fields where there is shortage of teachers in the ministry. The initiative will provide job opportunities for dozens and even hundreds of Kuwaiti engineers who wish to work in the teaching profession in rare specialties and fill the deficit in these specializations. The mechanism for implementing the initiative will be through an intensive study program for a specific period during which the engineer will be granted a higher education degree through theoretical teaching in specialization subjects such as teaching methods and curricula, teaching aid and educational technology, preparation of an educational instructor (teacher), and field internship, which is then followed by appointment of engineers in schools
