Al-Halabi: Schools To Close in Southern Border Areas on Tuesday

Caretaker Minister of Education Abbas Halabi said on Monday in a statement that "the decision to close schools, secondary schools, institutes, and official and private schools located in the southern border areas will be implemented tomorrow, Tuesday, October 24, 2023. As for those adjacent to the international border areas, the decision to close them or not will be left to the discretion of each school director. Meanwhile, schools located in all Lebanese regions will continue to operate normally."

He emphasized the "right of every student to enroll in the official school close to their new place of residence," confirming the right of members of the educational staff who have moved to other locations to enroll in the schools where they have relocated, with educational areas being informed of these developments.

He urged citizens to follow the ministry's statements daily to keep abreast of developments and maintain the start of the academic year.
