Regional Meeting for Sustainable After-School Activities

June 3, 2010

As a part of the $11.6 million USAID funded Lebanon Education Assistance for Development (LEAD) program, a regional meeting to evaluate and improve the after-school activities was held on June 3, 2010. The Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) regional officers and after-school committee members of thirty schools under the LEAD program, including school principals and health educators, attended this workshop. Attendees shared experience and lessons learned. Their discussions focused on the best methodology to be followed to reach sustainability in the extra-curricular activities, which foster a positive school spirit and environment and develop creativity among teachers and students. During the meeting, an evaluation form was distributed. This form will be analyzed and results will be used to develop action plan to sustain after-school activities.  The LEAD program is implemented by the International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) and the Cooperative Housing Foundation (CHF). To date, IOCC and CHF have provided rehabilitation works, computer and science laboratories and equipment, and after-school activities to over 280 public schools throughout Lebanon.
