Kuwait charity schools in North Lebanon contributes to providing Syrian students with educational curricula that guarantee them the ability to face difficulties of life.

These schools, located in Tripoli, Dannieh and Akkar in northern Lebanon, cover the basic, intermediate and secondary educational stages, with nearly 7,000 students.

The Kuwait charitable schools include 11 schools sponsored by the Kuwaiti Humanitarian Excellence Association, while the International Islamic Charity Organization (IICO) supports five schools that sponsor 640 orphans.

In a statement to KUNA, the Director of the Cultural Center for Specific Education at the Association Mustafa Alloush said that donations are made through funders, whether they are individuals, organizations or associations.

The association provides the necessary school buildings and sponsors distinguished students to enable them to continue their studies, he noted.

Both Humanitarian Excellence Association and the International Islamic Charity Organization (IICO) cooperated in establishing a learning difficulties program and integrated it into the educational curricula.

The program is based on the idea of building academic and psychological compensatory programs in emergencies, aiming at qualifying teachers and reducing school dropouts.

The program is a contribution from the Excellence Association, the IICO, Islamic Development Bank, the Islamic Solidarity Fund in Saudi Arabia, in partnership with other Arab academic institutions.
