English Abstract

Today, polls throughout Lebanon indicate that people are quite shocked by shortcomings in their society.

Although not universally recognized, underlying these shortcomings are weaknesses in the system of higher education, its approaches, materials and institutions; this is quite true at all levels of the higher education system.

The most important problems facing Lebanon’s higher education nowadays include but are not limited to : • absence of legislation, national agencies, national standards, guidelines for quality assurance processes and procedures for accreditation ; and • limited understanding of quality assurance, as well as political and sectarian interference, coupled with the lack of development of faculty and staff, adequate library facilities, cooperation and coordination.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the quality of higher education in Lebanon and propose some remedies.
