Caretaker Minister of Education Abbas Halabi announced that the official start of the academic year will be on Monday, November 4.
In a press conference, he noted that "private schools may implement remote learning according to their available resources," emphasizing that "and the decision for in-person teaching is entirely the responsibility of those who made it."
Halabi urged private schools to reconsider the announced tuition fees, adding, "The Lebanese University continues to suspend classes."
He confirmed that "public schools and private educational institutions were not spared from this great tragedy, as hundreds of schools have turned into shelters, opening their doors to those displaced," adding, "It was essential for us to consult with the educational community, national and security authorities, and international entities to secure support for the ministry's plan to save the academic year."
He pointed out that "some private schools believe that the educational system should not halt despite the current circumstances," stressing the need "to prevent creating a gap among students."
Halabi emphasized the importance of "saving the academic year," hoping "that national leaders and friendly countries will succeed in reaching a ceasefire," and appealed to "education advocates to recognize the seriousness of the current situation and the difficulty of available options, stressing the importance of ensuring the continuity of education to avoid losing the academic year."
