Abstract

The current study aims at exploring the educational policy in Kuwait and its consideration of the rights of education, emphasizing justice and equality for all learners during times of crisis. It concentrates on the Covid-19 pandemic and the challenges faced by parents in private schools. The study adopts quantitative statistical methods and employs a questionnaire that involved 294 parents. The findings show that parents of private school students in Kuwait encountered several difficulties, during the time of the pandemic, which lead to unequal educational opportunities. Consequently, this study supports the development of the educational policies to address similar crises stressing the need for a comprehensive educational plan that ensures equitable support and supply of resources during emergencies. This is crucial for promoting educational equality in private and public institutions in Kuwait.
