Ignorance, Darkness, and the Revolution
The ministry emphasizes that the decision to merge public schools and secondary institutions, announced by Minister Rima Karamé in August 2026, aims to rationalize spending and improve resource management. However, this move faces widespread criticism from representatives of the educational community and politicians. The merger is seen as an attempt to reduce the number of public schools, especially those struggling with limited resources and low student numbers, which threatens the closure of many historically and educationally significant schools, such as the Okht al-Saghir Secondary School, known for its innovative projects and high costs. Opponents view this as a plan that undermines the right to free public education and leads to neglect of general education. There are warnings that these policies contribute to impoverishing the populace and weakening the national education framework, particularly amid economic policies implementing comprehensive austerity measures, which impose financial burdens on families and exacerbate citizens’ suffering amid declining education quality and public services.
