Karami Blocks Law to Cancel Exams
The article discusses the decision made by the Higher Education Equivalence Committee in Lebanon, which annulled a law passed by the Parliament aimed at eliminating official exams and instead providing students with certificates that grant the same rights as official diplomas. The law explicitly stated that these certificates would carry the same rights as official certificates. However, the committee's decisions violate its legal authority, as the law limits its role to equivalating degrees obtained outside Lebanon, not to revoking or replacing exams. As a result, the committee imposed new conditions that hinder students, such as requiring them to retake courses and pay additional fees—ignoring the fact that the law abolished exams for the year 2026 and provided students with certificates equivalent to diplomas. This undermines students’ rights and isolates their certificates, contrary to the law. There have been accusations that the committee makes decisions favoring private universities at the expense of students, surpassing its legal powers, especially amid the delay in appointing its chairperson and other legal issues. This raises questions about its motives and objectives, and it appears that the decision reflects retribution from the Parliament against private universities.
