Secretary-General of Catholic Schools, Father Youssef Nasr to MTV: "About 30 percent of teachers have stopped teaching, and the state is responsible for preserving the educational sector, so where are the strategies to advance this sector?"
"Today is not the time for parental committees, teachers, and schools, to squabble but to cooperate", he said.
He added: "15 to 20 percent of our students may leave schools because their parents are unable to secure the fees, but we want to protect our students even in these difficult circumstances".
