The French Republic is committed to supporting the Lebanese public education system through the Natafaal project (meaning "to engage" in Arabic). This project, designed in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, aims to promote the school retention of the most vulnerable children, and contributes to the rehabilitation of schools affected by the Beirut blast in August 2020.
