Public school teachers' unions across the country announced a strike to protest deteriorating salaries and a lack of government assistance and the dire work conditions since the start of Lebanon's economic crisis in 2019. The teachers? called on the minister of education Abbas Halabi to 'make due the promise he made in front of donor countries,' which stated that no education for Lebanese students means no education for refugees, by shutting down the 'night shift' in public schools. The 'night shift' is the hours dedicated to refugee education after normal public school hours. The UNICEF warned on 19 January against an educational disaster in Lebanon, urging the immediate reopening of public schools to end education disruption. EPA/WAEL HAMZEH
