The General Secretariat of Catholic Schools emphasized the need to consider the situation of students and parents, particularly regarding their mental well-being, in light of the ongoing bombings and attacks in various Lebanese areas. They are coordinating in this regard with the Ministry of Education, which has announced a postponement of the start of the school year to October 7.
Additionally, the French Embassy in Lebanon is expected to issue a statement concerning students studying under the French baccalaureate system.
