Kuwait city: Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Dr. Nader Al-Jallal inaugurated the Applied Studies Building at the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET).
According to Kuwait News Agency, Al-Jallal highlighted that this development is part of the ongoing initiative to enhance the infrastructure of higher education and training in Kuwait. The new building aims to increase the capacity of the Authority in applied disciplines by providing additional classrooms that meet the latest academic standards, thereby allowing for a greater intake of students in critical fields.
