Education Minister Dr. Abbas Halaby asserted on Monday that he had received a promise from President of the Republic General Michel Aoun to discuss urgent issues related to the Lebanese University with Prime Minister Najib Mikati. These issues include LU appointments and will be discussed in the next Cabinet session.
Halaby pointed out that “So far, donors haven’t responded to provide aid to teachers in the private sector” and appealed to schools that did not meet the rights of their teachers especially in terms of paying the six stages for them.
The positions of the Education Minister came after his meeting with President Aoun on Monday at the Presidential Palace, where ministerial affairs and the issue of the Educational Center for Research and Development were discussed.
President Aoun also met National Defense Minister, Maurice Sleem, and discussed with him the security situation.
The meeting also tackled the needs of institutions affiliated with the Defense Ministry, especially in the Army, in addition to the demarcation of southern maritime borders.
