Military Personnel Exempt from Paying School Dollars

Army Commander General Joseph Aoun received in his office in Yarze the Secretary-General of Catholic Schools and President of the Union of Private Educational Institutions, Father Yousef Nasr. It was agreed to exempt military personnel from the decision of private schools regarding the collection of part of the tuition fees for the upcoming academic year in cash dollars, as the salaries of military personnel remain limited and are paid in Lebanese pounds. Father Nasr confirmed to General Aoun that "in this way, private educational institutions have contributed to supporting the military institution, especially in these difficult economic circumstances," praising "the national role it plays in maintaining security and stability."
