Education Ministry Reviews School Licenses
The article discusses the extent to which the "Mahdi" and "Al-Mustafa" schools affiliated with Hezbollah in Lebanon influence the upbringing of children through ideological frameworks that serve Iran's interests. It highlights how these schools program children from an early age to pledge allegiance to the Guardianship of the Jurist (Wilayat al-Faqih) and promote the religious and political authority of Iran. This poses a threat to the unity of Lebanon's national identity and violates Lebanese constitutional principles regarding freedom of education and constitutional prohibitions related to doctrinal indoctrination and national affiliation. The article also points out the continued licensing of these schools and their continued operation despite the risks, criticizing the weak oversight and collusion among educational authorities. It notes how loopholes in private religious education are exploited to shape a generation of Lebanese loyal to Iran, with a repeated relaxation of content that opposes the Lebanese state in the curricula. This escalating trend is seen as increasingly dangerous to national sovereignty and social security.
