The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, held a meeting today, Tuesday, at the headquarters of the Education Ministry, with the designated Minister of Education, the Undersecretary of the Ministry and the directors of various departments, in the presence of the Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs and his president, Adel Jumaa, in order to review the problems facing the Ministry and the educational process and find proposed solutions.

Dbeibeh also stressed the need to pay attention to develop the educational process and be updated, noting that the government will always be supportive in various ways for the teacher who raises children and brings forth generations that build the country.

The meeting touched on the reasons for the delay in the availability of the textbook, where Dbeibeh said:  « We apologize to all our students and their parents for the delay in the availability of books. To solve this issue, it is necessary, from now on, to print books in Libya, and as for the transition to other educational methods than books, it takes time and we cannot apply it in countries that are still in the process of stability.

With regard to school maintenance work, he said that the government started last year to maintain and complete a large number of schools in all regions of Libya, noting that more will be built this year, and we will no longer be satisfied that our children learn in briar and trills.

At the end of the meeting, he stressed the deterrence of any violence against students. The ministry should stand firmly to end this phenomenon, as well as fixing the chaos in education.
