Abstract:
The main purpose of this project is to shed light on the problems of the Lebanese curriculum, which affect the learning process in public and private schools, specifically when it comes to online learning and special education. Since solving the problems is crucial, possible solutions were provided by different experts in the field. All this information is presented on a website of three major sections. The first section is about the history of the Lebanese curriculum and its problems followed by an interview about the possible solutions with the educational expert Dr. Nemer Frayha. The second section is about online learning and it is divided into three minor parts. The first part is a video about the advantages and disadvantages of online learning and how did the Ministry of Education respond to online learning. The second part presents the experience of four students: two from public schools and the other two from private schools, regarding online learning during the Coronavirus pandemic. The last part of this section is s survey that examines the experience of 192 parents regarding their children’s online learning. It also aims to discover if online learning is possible given the current curriculum in Lebanon. The data collected from the survey are presented in an informative video. The spotlight about special education in Lebanon is the third section of our project. This section includes a video and a feature story about the problems of special education in Lebanon and their possible solutions. Educational experts and a special educator provided this information.
