Al-Halabi followed the conditions of Lebanese students returning from Syria
The attendees discussed how to find solutions for the approximately 270 students to continue their university studies, and the minister stressed that these students are our children and we will rely on the solution that included the problem of students arriving from the former Ukraine, and from other countries that witnessed wars and rapid displacement.
The issue of students in the middle and high school levels who were displaced with their families from Syria, numbering about 7,000 students, was also raised.
The delegation also pointed out the influx of new displaced people, along with their children, who are particularly concentrated in the Hermel area. They are requesting registration in schools, but the Council of Ministers restricts registration to those who hold valid residency permits or documents from the UNHCR.
The delegation also followed up on the demands of contracted and assisted teachers and the salaries of staff teachers, and the minister confirmed that he had submitted draft decrees in this regard to the Council of Ministers. He also followed up on the issue of the Council of Ministers’ advance to replenish school funds, and the issue of securing ready schools in place of completely demolished schools.
