Public schools will register children of Lebanese mothers
19-9-2017
The Parliamentary Commission for Education and Culture led by MP Bahiya Hariri approved yesterday the registration of Lebanese students as well as those descending from a Lebanese mother in public schools. It was also agreed during the legislative session attended by minister of education Marwan Hamadeh to start receiving non-Lebanese students as part of the Reaching all Children with Education RACE program. To note, the head of the National Commission for Lebanese Women (NCLW), Claudine Aoun Rokuz, has sent a letter to Hamadeh two days ago requesting facilitation of registration for children of Lebanese mothers married to non-Lebanese in the classes for students of Lebanese nationality for the academic year 2017-2018. Thanking the minister for his fast response, Roukoz underlined the significance of this step in alleviating feelings of discrimination among children of Lebanese mothers, pointing to the injustice they suffer as a result of the nationality law that prevents their mothers from passing the Lebanese citizenship to them.
