Lebanon's government has taken a proactive step by ordering the suspension of classes in public and private schools in various parts of the country amidst rising tensions with Israel. The decision, aimed at ensuring the safety of students, comes as fears of a potential escalation in conflict loom large.
According to a statement released by the Lebanese education ministry, the directive mandates a two-day closure of schools in the southern region of Lebanon. This move is a precautionary measure to shield students from the increasing security risks posed by the current situation.
The order, which came into effect on Monday, applies to several governorates including South Lebanon, Nabatieh, Bekaa, Baalbek-Hermel, and the southern suburbs. By temporarily halting classes in these areas, the government hopes to mitigate any potential threats that may arise.
With tensions running high, the decision to suspend school activities underscores the government's commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of students. By proactively addressing the security concerns, authorities are taking necessary steps to safeguard the educational environment and protect the young population.
