Krami announces new school year plan
The Minister of Education and Higher Education, Rima Kariami, has outlined the framework for the upcoming academic year in Lebanon. She announced that a four-day teaching schedule will be adopted each week, with the instructional hours remaining the same as last year. The details regarding the start of classes will be clarified in mid-September. Emphasis was placed on clearing overdue payments to schools and automating procedures for unifying school names. She also reaffirmed that schools in insecure areas will not be closed, supporting distance learning and inclusive education to ensure students' right to education. Additionally, efforts will be made to expedite the disbursement of shelter school funds and address previous gaps. Furthermore, the ministry requested the government not to delay the payment of salary increases or distribute the differences in installments, and to proceed with implementing the increases directly into the basic salary. This comes alongside the planned optional implementation of new curricula in the next school year, along with completing the necessary administrative amendments.
