Lebanon Pushes For School Continuation Despite The Ongoing Israeli Aggression
Lebanon’s Minister of Education, Abbas Halabi, announced that the academic year will officially begin on Monday, November 4, 2024.
Private schools can choose remote learning if they have the resources, but they are responsible for in-person classes. Halabi also called on them to reconsider tuition fees.
He confirmed that classes at the Lebanese University will stay suspended due to the crisis, which has affected both public and private schools, with many being used as shelters.

He remains committed to saving the school year, hoping for a ceasefire with the help of national leaders and allies.
