Lebanese Curriculum Shift to Competency
The new Lebanese national curriculum for pre-university general education (Decree No. 3445, dated July 15, 2026) represents a radical shift in the concept of education. It emphasizes building competencies and active thinking instead of rote memorization and accumulation of knowledge. The curriculum is based on five modern educational theories, most notably Social Constructivism, which views learning as a process through social and environmental interaction; Connectivism, which underscores the importance of utilizing digital networks; and Multiple Intelligences Theory, which recognizes the diverse abilities of learners. In addition, it incorporates principles of inclusive education and formative assessment aimed at continuous improvement. The decree seeks to develop an educational environment that goes beyond formalities, preparing learners to be creative and critical thinkers capable of meeting the demands of the modern era. This requires strengthening digital infrastructure and re-qualifying educational staff to achieve this transformation.
