Lebanon’s Higher Education Sector Remains Resilient

Lebanon’s higher education sector remains resilient amid deep economic, political, and social crises. Institutions are increasingly adopting online and hybrid learning models, driven by student demand for flexibility. At Holy Spirit University of Kaslik, 55% of students preferred such modalities, prompting calls for enhanced digital course design, interactivity, and stronger tech support. Schools are also investing in ICT infrastructure and generative AI tools to support personalized and sustainable learning.

National Qualifications Framework and Quality Assurance Agency

Concurrently, the country is working to establish a national qualifications framework and quality assurance agency, aiming to align programs with labour-market needs while strengthening governance and institutional oversight. Despite these initiatives, challenges persist: currency devaluation has slashed faculty salaries, raised tuition costs, and driven staff attrition—undermining educational quality and access. Expert shortages have also delayed program licensing processes.
