On 22 April 2013, the first National Day was made possible through the concerted efforts and high level of coordination between our SKILD Center, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and its Center for Educational Research and Development (CERD), and the British Council in Lebanon.
More than 1000 leaders, educators, and students attended the event at the UNESCO Palace. With the support of the educational institutions that participated in organizing the National Day, we were able to start raising interest in the issue of students with learning difficulties and their right to education. Together, we succeeded in rendering this issue a matter of priority at various levels and backgrounds.
The National Day became a National week in the presence of a team of professionals and educators from the Consortium for Global Education (CGE) who participated in seminars and awareness sessions for parents and teachers.
