Starting today, Gibran Ghassan Tueni Secondary Schools 1 and 2 evacuate the modern and spacious building they occupy in the Ashrafieh area to the old Salma Al Sayegh Primary School building with small classrooms and no corridors and laboratories in the same area , despite the availability of a nearby and spacious building owned by the state and occupied by the Uruguayan school of 185 students. Alone.
Suddenly, around 450 students were forced to implement the decision of the Minister of Education to evacuate, due to the desire of the owner of the property in which the institute building is located to get it back. By the way, it is a building rented for 350 million lire a year, and the building to which it will be moved is “rented for more than 200 million lire a year. He was rehabilitated at the expense of UNICEF about two years ago, ”according to a book sent by the General Inspectorate of Education to the General Directorate of Education.
The decision struck like a thunderbolt on the members of the administrative and educational bodies and the families of the students. Educational sources pointed out that since 2016 it has been doubted that the owners of the building want to recover it due to non-payment of rent by the Ministry. “We were told that we would move to the Uruguayan school building after the teachers affiliated with the Directorate of Orientation and Orientation who occupied the top floor of the two high school buildings were finally surprised. We will move to a building that includes 21 small rooms and lacks infrastructure, especially for online education, library classroom, theater, drawing, music and computer rooms and sports fields, which will lead to a decline in the educational level of the old high school. dating from the sixties of the last century ».
Education inspection: occupying the extension of school buildings is a waste of public money
High School Parent Committee Chair Salima Bayram Harb said “We were surprised by the decision and we were recently informed.” She expressed concern about the difficulty of applying social distancing, in addition to the location of the new building on the road and its impact on the educational environment. She noted, “The reluctance of many families to move from a building equipped with all modern educational facilities to another, which will not protect them with their broken windows (due to the port explosion) from the winter cold.” She called on the ministers of Education and Health to work to stop “this disaster and seek to renew the contract with the owner of the property, even for one year, until a decent building is secured.”
In its letter to the Director General, the General Inspectorate of Education recommended merging the two secondary schools into a morning-shift secondary school that is based in the Uruguayan school building, as it is a modern state-owned building and consists of six floors with two basements, as long as the students of the new high school occupy the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, because they are not. The suitability of the Salma Al-Sayegh school with the required specifications, while the Uruguayan mixed school remains in the remaining classes (lower, first, second and third). According to the Inspection, this measure leads to a reduction in the waste of public money resulting from the occupation of an educationally inadequate building at a high rental cost.
Given that the orientation and direction is currently occupying the fifth and sixth floors of the Uruguayan building (12 rooms) without any legal justification, the Inspection required the General Directorate to vacate the orientation of the building, considering that “the allocation of layers to this device Not regulated in the Uruguayan building or in any other building is considered a legal infraction. It translates into a waste of public money and a burden on school funds, since the costs of electricity, water, diesel generator and others are paid with these funds, without the advisory agency participating in the payment of the cost ”, to despite the aid that this agency receives from various local and international sources.
