A decision has been made regarding education in private schools and universities
Minister of Education and Higher Education Abbas Halabi announced the suspension of teaching activities at the Lebanese University and in private universities for one week, starting from Monday, September 30, 2024, until the evening of Sunday, October 6, 2024. Administrative and logistical work will continue, except for university centers where military events necessitate a complete halt to operations, based on an assessment to be reported to the institution's administration. Operations in medical, pharmaceutical, and health facilities and in related specialties will continue, as well as in other centers where the nature of their tasks requires them to maintain their activities.
The Minister called on the Lebanese University and all private higher education institutions to conduct necessary surveys and studies to closely identify the reality of displacement among students enrolled in higher education, in order to devise appropriate plans to ensure their continued engagement in the educational process. He urged them to make arrangements dictated by the current situation in Lebanon, particularly the reality of displacement, and to ensure that all students have access to educational resources, regarding the possibility of diversifying educational paths and types to ensure the proper progress and completion of the academic year 2024-2025 within its usual schedule and under the best possible conditions.
Minister Halabi reminded that the suspension of classes until the specified date is effective in public and private schools, as well as technical institutes.
