Since the start of the z*onist genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, South Lebanon has been witnessing daily zion*st attacks that include assassinations, demolitions, arson, and many other facets of barbarism.

The peak was in the autumn of 2024 when the Zionist enemy waged an all-out war on Lebanon, pouring its main grudge on the South who has always shown steadfastness.

One of the basic manifestations of this steadfastness is the academic performance of the education family in the region. Schools, parents, teachers, and students have been all cooperating to sustain the success of the students despite all the hard conditions.

It would be acceptable if students living in such conditions to perform moderately; however, South Lebanon students have insisted on confronting the enemy in their own war.

Lebanon’s ministry of education announced on Friday the results of the official exams for the terminal classes (Grade Twelve), including their four branches: General Sciences, Life Sciences, Socio-economics, and Humanities.

The results showed that the list of the highest scores all over Lebanon included mostly the students of the two provinces of the South and Nabatiyeh.

Ali Hayek, who descends from Adsheet town in South Lebanon, ranked first in the results of the official exams-General Sciences branch.

Leen Karaki, who descends from Jbaa town in Nabatiyeh, ranked first in the results of the official exams-Socio-economics branch.

House Speaker Nabih Berri issued on Saturday a statement to congratulate South Lebanon students on their success and excellence, affirming that they are resisting the enemy through education.

Al Manar report

Knowledge is the basis of every sublime state and the culmination of every high station. That is why the Prophet said, ‘It is the duty of every Muslim, man and woman, to seek knowledge,’ that is, the knowledge of precaution (taqwa) and certainty. Imam `Ali said, ‘Seek knowledge, though it be in China,’ meaning the knowledge of gnosis of the self – in it is contained knowledge of the Lord.
