GEAGEA URGES EDUCATION MINISTER NOT TO ACCEPT ANY FOREIGN STUDENT WITHOUT A VALID RESIDENCE PERMIT

Lebanese Forces Party Chief, Samir Geagea, wrote today on his "X' platform account: 'Your Excellency the Minister of Education: By the 2024-2025 academic year, the situation in all schools and at various levels must return to the legal status, i.e. just as each student who applies for admission to a public or private school is required to submit his/her identification papers, likewise I am turning to you to issue a circular to all schools, regardless of their differences, not to accept any foreign student, Syrian or other, who does not possess a valid residence permit issued by the Lebanese General Security, which is the sole document recognised by the state...The Ministry of Education must therefore be at the forefront of compliance in this regard."
