Inside Lebanon’s education crisis amid displacement
May 4, 2026
Posted 4 hours ago by
Israel's war on Lebanon has displaced more than a million people and disrupted the education of a quarter of a million children across the country. Hundreds of schools are now closed or being used as shelters for the displaced. At least 55 percent of Lebanese children are studying in schools, down from normal levels, whilst many others struggle with weak internet and overcrowded conditions.
One displaced mother says exams should be delayed, but education officials insist assessments must go ahead in safe locations where possible. Al Jazeera's Rory Challands reports from Beirut, Lebanon.
