Synopsis (short abstract) Agricultural technical education was established in Lebanon in 1943 by virtue of Decree No. 2106. In 1962, the agricultural technical education was affiliated to the Ministry of Agriculture and the first technical school was established in Fanar, Beirut. In 1987, a law organizing the Agricultural technical and vocational education was issued. The MoA established seven Agricultural Technical Schools. The schools aim at reducing the unemployment rate in rural areas and increasing interest in the agriculture sector. Graduating students can pursue higher education or enter the agricultural labor market. However, the said schools needed capacity-building support for student trainings (aged 15 to 20 years old) with a revised curriculum for the three-year Technical Baccalaureate (BT).
