Education Ministry on Independent Candidates Exams
The article addresses the legal crisis faced by the Lebanese Ministry of Education and Higher Education following a decision by the State Shura Council to suspend the implementation of the exam date for independent candidates. This decision conflicts with a previous ruling issued by the ministry based on Law No. 48/2026. The ministry affirms that it had relied on the legal advisory authority’s opinion, which clarified that setting exam dates is permissible, and that it is legally forbidden for the executive authority to refuse to implement a valid law enacted by the Parliament. The article notes that the judicial decision raises questions about administrative authority, particularly regarding the enforcement of laws and the setting of deadlines. This situation threatens the credibility of official certificates and the stability of the educational system. The ministry intends to seek revocation of the decision to reconsider and ensure proper application of the law, thus preserving the integrity of the certificates.
