Kuwait city: The Ministry of Information, the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET), and the Kuwait Journalists Association (KJA) have agreed to introduce a Digital Media diploma at PAAET. Minister of Information and Culture and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi met with PAAET Director General Dr. Hassan Al-Fajjam and KJA Chairman Adnan Al-Rashed to advance the plan, the Information Ministry said in a press statement on Sunday.
According to Kuwait News Agency, the diploma will build media literacy among Kuwaiti youth and train them in fast-evolving digital fields, such as visual and interactive content, modern social platforms, and tourism media. The initiative aims to support Kuwait's efforts to grow its tourism sector and establish itself as a cultural and media hub.
The program is expected to produce graduates capable of creating high-quality, nationally reflective content, boosting the local media scene, and spurring youth entrepreneurship. The initiative aligns with the ministry's strategy of strengthening government-civil society partnerships toward a creative, knowledge-driven "New Kuwait."
Also present at the meeting were KJA Treasurer Dhahiran Aba Al-Khail and PAAET Deputy Director General for Applied Education and Research Dr. Mohammad Al-Hayyan.
