He also addressed educational matters during a meeting with Minister of Education and Higher Education in the caretaker government, Abbas Al-Halabi, who confirmed after the meeting that "the exams will take place as scheduled." Al-Halabi stated: "The meeting was very beneficial, and we presented the Ministry of Education's plan to introduce reforms in teaching and learning as a result of the crisis we experienced this year, which compels us to think carefully about how to tackle the upcoming academic year, introduce governance into the Lebanese educational system, and secure funding. This meeting will be held under the auspices of the Prime Minister on June 8 with the presence of all ambassadors and donors who can collaborate with the Ministry of Education to ensure the smooth running of the next academic year."
