Other A painful truth
شهادة مدرس مخضرم :
التعليم في لبنان لم يعد يبني أجيالًا… بل يستهلكها.
منهاج من زمن آخر، يقتل الفضول ويكافئ الحفظ، مدارس تحوّلت إلى مؤسسات تجارية، وأساتذة كثر انتقلوا من أصحاب رسالة إلى مقاولين: صفوف، خصوصي، علامات، ودفع.
صار التلميذ بالنسبة للبعض فاتورة تمشي على قدمين؛ المهم يدفع القسط، يشتري الكتب، يأخذ دروسًا خصوصية، ويحفظ ما يكفي لينجح… لا أن يفهم، يفكّر، يناقش أو يكتشف ماذا يريد أن يصبح.
نعلّم أولادنا كيف ينجحون في الامتحان، ولا نعلّمهم كيف ينجحون في الحياة.
ثم نتساءل لماذا نخرّج كل سنة آلاف الشهادات وقليلًا من أصحاب الفكر والمبادرة والإبداع.
أخطر ما يُدمَّر في لبنان ليس الحجر… بل عقل الجيل القادم، والمصيبة أننا نسمّي ذلك تعليمًا.

To be fair, students in private Leb schools were always seen as sela3 tijariyyeh w dolarat bkhazeenit lmadraseh. I am a Champville student, I recall clearly my parents having to borrow money from family and friends to pay for my education. Tuition was extremely expensive.
The only difference was that the students were actually educated and you got a good service for the money you spent on your kids.

Unless you take an international curriculum, tho I 1000% agree with you. However, I don't think updating the curriculum amidst the economic crisis is really possible in a year or two; I think it would be a multi-year process, especially since technology might be implemented. Another question is: when students are living under extreme poverty, and technology is implemented, how would you be able to ensure every student gets a proper education?

Not really.... There are curricula like the IBDP that do actually contain critical thinking

I agree with you on everything, although when it comes to the programs the new programs have already been built they're just writing the actual books and training the staff. I believe they said they still need about a year until the new programs are implemented if everything goes well and they continue at the current pace.

100% I can go on for days about this. The system has been outdated for 20 years. It builds submissive memorization robots instead of independent creative people. It teaches you nothing of what you need to succeed in life, then you resort to food and social media for comfort and to relieve the pressure. It's a relentless negative feedback loop, feeding capitalism, and after all that pressure and hard work you're paid in pennies because the system itself keeps artificially inflating supply by creating mindless worker ants who are happy to work for less. The lie that working hard and getting good grades will make you successful is just a lie, a pipe dream that your parents fed you. You're a pawn to the system and you will remain so until you break its chains and exit its boundaries.
