Krami clarifies school mergers aim to consolidate struggling schools with few students
The article discusses the decision by the Lebanese Ministry of Education to merge some official schools and secondary institutes. It emphasizes that this measure is not aimed at closing schools or depriving students of their right to education. Rather, it is limited to consolidating underperforming schools with more than ten students, in order to improve resource management and reduce financial waste. The decision is part of a comprehensive reform plan aimed at rationalizing expenditures and enhancing the efficiency of the public education sector, based on objective pedagogical and financial standards. The ministry also reaffirmed its openness to reviewing cases where new facts, not available at the time of the decision, are proven. Additionally, it pointed out that the schools targeted for merging failed to meet sustainability criteria after a grace period granted last year. The goal is to protect public schools and ensure responsible management of public funds amidst rising education costs, while rejecting political and populist rhetoric or exploitation related to the decision.
