The Libyan Government, led by Prime Minister Osama Hammad, has entered discussions regarding the establishment of Teacher Training Institutes in three major cities: Benghazi, Tripoli, and Sabha. This development was announced following a meeting between Prime Minister Hammad and the Minister of Education, Jumaa Al-Jadid, focusing on measures to enhance Libya’s educational sector.
Key outcomes of the meeting include the strategic funding allocation for educational improvements and the proposal for Teacher Training Institutes. These institutes are intended to bolster the quality of education by providing comprehensive training for teachers, essential for the country’s educational advancement.
Further decisions made during the meeting involve relocating the Training and Development Center to Benghazi. This move is part of a broader effort to decentralize educational resources, making them more accessible across the country.
The discussions also covered the welfare and working conditions of teachers, underscoring the government’s commitment to addressing the needs of educators as part of its educational reform strategy.
This initiative comes as Libya seeks to recover from years of conflict following the 2011 uprising. The country has experienced division and instability, affecting its economy, heavily reliant on oil, and leading to a humanitarian crisis with significant impacts on residents, migrants, and refugees. The government’s focus on educational reform represents a step toward rebuilding and stabilizing the nation.
