Beirut: Free Patriotic Movement Head, MP Gebran Bassil, wrote today on platform ‘X’: ‘Private schools opened their doors a month ago, and public schools will open tomorrow. Through our open schools, we resist and preserve Lebanon! Closing of schools means migration for our people! The government must ensure the requirements for completing the scholastic year for all Lebanese students. We cannot lose our educational treasure and the future of our children…If we lose education, we will lose Lebanon!’

According to National News Agency – Lebanon, Bassil’s statement underscores the urgent need for government action to support the educational sector. The emphasis is on preventing the closure of schools, which is seen as vital for maintaining the country’s social fabric and future prospects. Bassil’s remarks highlight the significant role of education in preventing emigration and preserving the identity of Lebanon by ensuring that Lebanese students can continue their education without disruption.
