Delay decision on contracted teachers assignment
The article discusses the Lebanese Ministry of Education's delay in making a decision regarding the deployment of contracted professors at the Lebanese University, despite ongoing calls for approval and a teachers' strike that threatens to prolong the educational crisis. The Cabinet session addressed the criteria used in the deployment process, revealing political interference and the Minister Karamy's lack of compliance with fairness and necessity standards, as she resorted to rejecting the list of names forwarded to the government and relying solely on seniority as a criterion. Concerns were also raised about the Christian representation falling below 35%, sparking controversy over balance and standards, with the Maronite Patriarchate and opposing Christian deputies requesting a reconsideration of the mechanism. It is noteworthy that the deployment crisis worsens amidst the university's deteriorating resources, having lost nearly a thousand professors over the past 12 years. Therefore, continued postponement deepens the crisis and threatens the stability of the teaching staff at the Lebanese University.
