(5) Classroom Observers - BML - Dirasa in Lebanon at Amel Association

Project Overview – Dirasa

The Dirasa project supports out-of-school children in Lebanon who face severe barriers to accessing quality education due to economic hardship, displacement, and prolonged learning interruptions. Targeting 3,500 children aged 8–14, the project provides structured, level-appropriate learning opportunities in Arabic, Mathematics, and Sciences, embedded within 14 semi-private and private-free schools that have limited external support. Dirasa integrates psychosocial support (PSS), social-emotional learning (SEL), individualized learning plans, and regular follow-up to help children close academic gaps, rebuild confidence, and stay engaged in education. By strengthening schools, caregivers, teachers, and support staff, the project enhances community-based education systems and contributes to safer, more inclusive learning environments for more than 12,000 direct and indirect beneficiaries across Lebanon.
