Lebanon Curriculum Matrix
Nemer Freiheh, former president of the Center for Educational Research and Development, criticizes the scope-and-sequence matrix for the Lebanese curricula, issued under Decree No. 3445 in a 553-page document. He argues that several competencies expected of kindergarten children aged three to six—such as analyzing challenges, managing emotions, and being open to the world—do not take their developmental abilities into account, while some of the same formulations recur in higher grades. He also notes that the matrix lists competencies without providing integrated subject-area content, making it difficult to write textbooks and teachers’ guides or implement the curricula, particularly in the absence of teacher training. He concludes that the curricula must be completed in an academically and professionally rigorous way to ensure they are age-appropriate and progress coherently from one grade to the next.
