The media office of the Ministry of Education and Higher Education denied the validity of all articles and analyses published in the media and on social networks regarding a delay in the academic year for public schools or the unavailability of funds for this purpose. It emphasized that news from the ministry is issued through direct statements from the Minister of Education and Higher Education or someone authorized by them, or through official statements issued by the media office. The office confirmed that there is no truth to claims about "sources from the ministry" or other similar designations, especially since Minister Abbas Al-Halabi continues his communications with relevant parties to secure the allocations determined by the Council of Ministers for education in a timely manner. He is aligned with the teachers, not opposing them, and all his efforts are directed toward this goal.
