Education
as Root for Self-Development

Self-development and growth cannot be achieved without Education. Since development and poverty reduction require knowledge, skills and creativity, education is a fundamental tool to unleash the potential of the human mind and essential to secure equal opportunities to all. In other words, education remains key to reach equal socio-economic development, improve integration, which, in turn, consolidate social cohesion and coexistence, particularly in a pluralistic country such as Lebanon, where cultural diversity prevails.

If education is key to self-development, growth and success, this implies that education needs to be accessible to all. Meaning that all students should acquire the knowledge and skills they are entitled to, as education has been recognized as a basic human right.
Since inception, Nawraj has invested in ensuring learning for all in a different way.
