Records management compliance: a case study of Kuwait’s College of Basic Education
Purpose
This study aims to investigate the compliance of Kuwait’s College of Basic Education (CBE) with records management standards (RMS), legislation and regulations.
Design/methodology/approach
This case study collects data from semi-structured interviews and a thorough internet search of relevant records management (RM) policies and procedures.
Findings
The findings reveal the shortcomings of the bottom-up approach to RM, which poses significant risks due to inadequate management and monitoring; lack of compliance with local or national records and archives regulations; and a general unawareness of RMS and best practices among interviewees.
Research limitations/implications
This study focuses on CBE, potentially limiting generalizability to other academic institutions in Kuwait, but offers valuable insights for polities that similarly lack records legislation and wish to improve their RM practices and comply with international standards.
Practical implications
This study proposes a more top-down approach to RM with the adoption of international RMS to improve practices, minimize risks and reduce legal liabilities. Positive outcomes will support the case for records and archives legislation (RAL) in Kuwait and provide the framework for its establishment.
Social implications
The study argues that the passage of RAL and the subsequent implementation of RMS will improve citizens’ Right to Access Information.
Originality/value
This study initiates a pioneering effort in understanding Public Authority for Applied Education and Training and CBE’s level of compliance with RMS, legislation and regulations and their challenges.
