Libyan Member of Parliament (MP), Jaballah Al-Shaibani, commented on Libya’s exit from the international classification for the quality of education.
In a post on his Facebook account, Al-Shaibani said, “deceptive education, the education of parrots with which they laugh at backward peoples, which makes us eat what we do not grow, wear what we do not sew, do not make a needle, a shirt, or a panadol pill.”
He added that the education in Libya “make us depend in our lives on what comes to us from beyond the sea or so they wanted us to be a market to consume their products.”
He added that, “this education does not deserve us to cry over it, even if we are ranked at the top of the list of illiterate countries.”
The Libyan MP explained that it is the education of “hollow certificates that do neither nourishes nor avails against hunger.”
Al-Shaibani continued, “we must bring education to others and not be like it. We need a real revolution, programs and plans to build real education and scientific laboratories that will achieve real independence and self-reliance in terms of food, clothing, medicine, equipment and all modern tools.”
Libya was excluded from the DAFSO Index, which is the global ranking for the quality of education.
Last month, Al-Shaibani, said that the General National Congress is “clinging” to power and not surrendering to the House of Representatives (HoR) elected by the people in 2014.
The Libyan MP added that it fabricated wars and manoeuvres to justify its position and continue in power, with the exception of a group that resigned out of respect for the will of the people.
In a post on his official Facebook account, Al-Shaibani added “after that, all political and executive institutions, groups and individuals worked with the same way.”
He noted that the Libyan General National Congress, which is currently called the High Council of State (HCS), bears the burden of this method and the burden of those who acted in it until the state is restored and the peaceful transfer of power is reached.
