  • The impact of the class environment on high school students’ learning in public schools in keserwan, Lebanon 
    Farhat, Tina (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2021)
    Public schools guarantee education that is invariably available to pupils, even to those who have financial difficulties. Being easily accessible, attending such schools has remained high until today; in 2019, US public institutions educated over 50.8 million scholars, to which the national average number of pupil per public school was about 526 scholars (Brian D. Ray, 2021). Conversely, public schools in Lebanon do not enclose such high number of students due to their unsatisfactory reputation: most of these schools are in bad conditions, outdated, and have limited classroom resources. Also, ...
  • Leadership styles in Lebanese secondary schools: a case study of two private and two public schools 
    Al Aramouny, Najat (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2016)
    The purpose of the study was to investigate the new roles of principals—as managers, instructors and change or reform agents—as perceived and practiced by leaders in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries and the United States of America (USA), and as perceived and practiced by their counterparts in Lebanon. This study documented how principals performed their new roles by matching their self- perceived and perceived leadership management styles with their behaviors while working together with subject coordinators and teachers to implement the school vision ...
  • A sustainable solution for the Lebanese eduction sector : a public policy approach 
    Karam, Johnny (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2020)

The analysis of a data set describing the Lebanese public education sector showed aggressively low student per teach ratios in several public schools with the cost of a student in some public schools tripling that of the average cost of a student in the private sector. Those numbers could well describe the high levels of corruption and the severely harmed accountability system. Adding to that an almost obsolete ...
  • Validity, accountability and fairness of official exams in Lebanon : reflections of grades 9 and 12 public school students 
    Jaber, Diala George (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2019-05)
    My research examines the learners’ attitudes towards the validity, accountability, and fairness of the official examinations and the extent to which they influence the quality of learning in public schools in Lebanon. I chose learners of Grades 9 and 12 Humanities and Life Sciences Sections who were sitting the official examinations during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 in a public high school in West Bekaa. They were 122 participants and data were collected from the learners through essay writing, open-ended-question survey, Diamond Ranking from Akar (2009), and open discussions. I also compared the ...
