Carmen Chahine Debbaneh is the head of the Lebanese Center for Specialized Education (CLES). She said the National Museum in Beirut was no accident as the place to deliver her message on education. The museum is a symbol that keeps memory and history alive. It reminds us that the future is built through education and knowledge.
A message of hope for children with difficulties
Debbaneh stressed how important it is to support children with learning difficulties. She said we should help them discover their special talents and bring them out. No child should be left on the margins to face difficulties alone.
Accepting difference
She ended by saying that teaching younger generations to accept and respect difference helps build better schools. It also builds a fairer society and a country closer to peace. In her words, children are the foundation of the future and its promising world.
