Lebanese education was nearer to Eastern philosophy
before the Syrian crisis. Technology was defined by having very old computers
at schools having one period of computer weekly, and teachers were using
physical attack and abusive words as punishment.
Along with the Syrian crisis and interference of United Nations in their education in Lebanon, they got with them new rules of education that contribute with the western philosophy of education. After that, technology became more integrated in schools and universities, there became more restrictions on diplomas and especially teaching diploma and masters that are said to become a main condition in the official tournament of contract for teaching secondary levels.
Also from that time, physical and verbal attack was forbidden in schools but without finding the alternative. So that students became more bold and rude with teachers having no sanction.
Therefore, the Lebanese education is moving from being based on eastern philosophy into western philosophy but with a lot of loss and mess. There is no clear schedule and goals set by the ministry of Education and Higher Education in Lebanon. However, it’s a matter of holding on to some philosophies and ideas of East and collecting some philosophies from West randomly.
