Expert professors and specialists have put forward many vague topics, which they find difficult to understand after being reinforced by explanation and simplification. Number of members of the Board of Directors of Hammurabi Human Rights and the representative of Christian Solidarity International, which supports the project, participated in the symposium.
Mr. Amir Saeed, the project manager, indicated that the implementation of the seminars was an opportunity to examine on the ground and diagnose number of issues that should be resolved, namely:
- The inefficiency of some teachers in public schools and their lack of interest in students.
- Weakness in some of the curricula and the need to make changes in a way that parallels recent scientific developments.
- The need to introduce teachers to specialized training courses to raise the efficiency and experience of teachers.
- Few schools and double shifts.
- Lack of laboratories in schools.
- The inadequacy of some schools as buildings and services, and the lack of their supplies, such as printing devices, drinking water filters, stationery and others.
- Some parents do not follow up on their children in school, and this requires wide social awareness
