Amid the ongoing war in Israel, Iraqi schools have opened their doors to Lebanese students in a bid to ensure they do not miss out on their education. With the influx of Lebanese families into Iraq, the Ministry of Education has taken steps to ease the enrollment process for these displaced students.
Public and private schools in Iraq are now offering free education to Lebanese students, with the aim of providing them with a sense of normalcy amidst the turmoil. Lebanese students are being admitted based on their current grade level and are being provided with necessary support, including textbooks and supplies.
The initiative, which started in Basra, has garnered support from private school owners across the country. Students are not only receiving education free of charge but are also benefiting from the generosity and care shown by Iraqi educators.
With dozens of Lebanese students already integrated into Iraqi schools, the Ministry of Education is committed to ensuring their well-being and academic success. This move reflects Iraq’s commitment to supporting Lebanese families during this challenging time and fostering a sense of solidarity between the two nations.
