| Abstract | According to the United Nations, a stateless person is someone who has no legal identity in any nation whatsoever. In Kuwait, there are almost 110,000 stateless people who are known as "Bidoon," which literally means "without". Since 1991 "Bidoon" children have been shut out of the public school system as they are considered illegal immigrants. The only point of contact for legal interaction between the government of Kuwait and the "Bidoon" is the Central Agency for Remedying Illegal Immigrants' Status. This complex bureaucracy has two conflicting responsibilities: (1) to investigate claims of citizenship by the "Bidoon"; and (2) to provide limited government services, including financial support to attend private schools. This research seeks to better understand the government's position regarding "Bidoon" education, and present the individual voices and beliefs behind the government policies. Seven government officials were interviewed, including the head of the Central Agency. Their responses, arranged here around specific themes of visibility/invisibility, inclusion/exclusion, and denial/access, suggest some possible explanations for the government's seeming lack of ability to resolve a situation that has continued for decades. By exploring the multitude of opinions that are impacting government policy, the present study aims to enhance understanding of the political and procedural roadblocks that are preventing the Kuwaiti government from resolving problems around educational access, legal status, and the rights of "Bidoon" children.
