Beirut schools rattled by Israeli strikes, FRANCE 24 English reports

The ongoing Israeli strikes on Beirut have had a devastating impact on the city’s schools, forcing children to put their education on hold indefinitely. With 75% of the schools in Beirut out of service, the Lebanese Ministry of Education is scrambling to find solutions to bring students back to the classroom next month.

The relentless airstrikes have left many schools in ruins, leaving students and teachers without a place to learn and work. The Ministry of Education is now focusing on the remaining schools in safer areas of the city in an effort to resume educational activities as soon as possible.

The disruption to education in Beirut comes at a time when children and families are already facing numerous challenges due to the ongoing conflict. The closure of schools not only impacts children’s academic progress but also their social and emotional well-being.

As the city grapples with the aftermath of the airstrikes, it is crucial for the international community to support efforts to rebuild schools and ensure that children have access to quality education. Education is a fundamental right for all children, and it is essential that steps are taken to ensure that they can continue their learning despite the challenges they may face.

The Ministry of Education is working tirelessly to address the impact of the strikes on Beirut’s schools, but the road ahead will be difficult. It is imperative that the international community comes together to support Lebanon in this time of crisis and help ensure that children have the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and supportive environment.
