Abstract:
Quality education is a major key to progress. This apparent postulate undermines arguments as to the philosophy, content and methods of education. Some consider education policies in many Arab and Muslim worlds as falling short of providing adequate conditions to induce real development. They further point that people of those countries still suffer from the burdens of wars and poverty, as well as unemployment and migration. Moreover, illiteracy rates are on the rise, and knowledge productions and investments in R&D remain at very rudimentary levels.
Amidst this bleak picture, hope emerges in a few places: increase in school enrolment, reduction in gender gap, incubators of potentials and talents. Yet there is a long path to drive the society towards progress, and to provide education to all. Since quality has become a non-debatable demand, the central issue is its accessibility to all, as opposed to only elites. Not only does the delay in tackling this priority increase the gap between the North and the South, it also aggravates social differences and adds to local tensions. This paper makes reference to the researches on the topic, and illustrates a holistic approach through a real life experience of one NGO acting in South Lebanon.
