“…Despite that, the reality of student learning outcomes shows that the country is experiencing a learning crisis, with low overall levels of learning and high levels of inequality. Since 2007, there has been a downward trend in student performance, with Lebanon performing poorly when compared to other nations (Abdul-Hamid and Yassine, 2020;Antoun et al, 2023). In addition to low levels of learning, Lebanon has significant levels of inequality.…”

“…The Lebanese government opened its public schools and offered afternoon shifts to Syrian refugees (Mendenhall et al, 2017). Lebanese curriculum was to be used exclusively for Syrian refugee students' education in terms of curriculum and instruction (Abdul-Hamid and Yassine, 2020). Although the Lebanese government welcomed Syrian refugees into its educational institutions, it fell short of giving them a quality education since in Syria all subjects are taught in Arabic (Immerstein and Al-Shaikhly, 2016).…”

“…For Syrian students, studying subjects in a foreign language is considered a barrier to their academic success ( Shuayb et al, 2014 ; Mendenhall et al, 2017 ). Research data revealed the inequality faced by marginalized students in Lebanon because of their poor schooling experiences ( Shuayb, 2014 ; Bahou, 2015 ; Al-Hroub, 2020 ; Al Khalili, 2021 ). Key findings by Al-Hroub (2014b) and Shuayb et al (2014) showed that the education provided for Syrian refugees was falling short due to the inflexibility of the curriculum and the absence of additional academic support to facilitate their transition to the new learning environment, resulting in high levels of dropout rate.…”

The paper provides a comprehensive conceptual model or framework for the identification and programming of gifted education in Lebanon. The model is evidence-based on the critical review of the literature on gifted education over the past two decades. The model discussed topics related to teacher conceptions, identification, preparation, and practices for the gifted in Lebanon. The development of a culturally appropriate conceptual model of gifted education is locally focused on Lebanese teachers’ needs to identify and serve gifted Lebanese and gifted refugee learners. This framework provides a means for educational leaders in Lebanon to consider policy reforms that will benefit not only gifted learners but also gifted refugee learners in different educational settings.
