President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, on Tuesday affirmed that “the difficult conditions that Lebanon is going through should not affect the educational level in its various stages, which has long characterized Lebanon and placed it in the ranks of major countries in terms of the standard of its educational and university institutions.”
“The difficulties that Lebanon is currently enduring have cast their weight on the conditions of all educational institutions, both public and private, and have negatively affected students and their families, amid the decline in the state’s capabilities to intervene and help,” President Aoun maintained.
As such, the President stressed any solution to the educational reality from its various aspects requires a joint effort from the state, educational institutions, educational body and the parents, so that solutions are integrated and realistic to overcome the delicate stage Lebanon is currently going through.
President Aoun’s words came during his meeting today at Baabda palace with the new secretary general of Lebanon’s Catholic schools, Father Youssof Nasr, accompanied by a delegation of the Catholic Schools Secretariat General, who briefed him on the current prevailing conditions of Catholic schools in Lebanon, in specific, and private schools, in general, at the onset of the new scholastic year.
