Kuwait Education Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Kuwait Education Market Size

The Kuwait education market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2025 and 2034. The market is being driven by the rising popularity of private educational institutes in the country.

Kuwait Education Market Outlook

• Nearly 40% of Kuwait’s population is under the age of 25 years.

• Arab Open University is the largest private institution, providing undergraduate degrees to nearly 60% of students in Kuwait.

• In 2022-23, the government of Kuwait spent $7.36 billion on improving its learning outcomes and expanding existing educational facilities.

Kuwait Education Market Growth

The government’s vision of turning Kuwait into an economically strong and environment-friendly nation necessitates the study of advanced STEM subjects in the English language. This is leading to a rise in the attractiveness of private institutions for many households. Private education facilitates student’s access to prestigious international universities and enables their holistic development. With increasing investments towards the establishment of new educational facilities, such as the Sabah Al Salem University City, access to education is expected to improve in Kuwait.

Vocational training is becoming an increasingly important part of the education system in Kuwait. The Public Authority of Applied Education and Training in Kuwait provides non-degree training to Kuwaiti students to enable the growth of various sectors, such as healthcare, telecommunications, and renewable energy, among others.

Amidst the deterioration of quality education in Kuwait, the Ministry of Education is revamping the curriculum of subjects like mathematics and social sciences to improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills among children. Moreover, the provision of attractive government scholarships for meritorious students is expected to accelerate the market development in the forecast period.
