Lebanon’s education system remains under immense pressure in 2025, as the teaching profession continues to bear the weight of the country’s overlapping economic, social, and political crises, further compounded by the consequences of the latest Israeli aggression. This year’s Centre for Lebanese Studies (CLS) teachers survey marks the fourth consecutive year of monitoring teachers’ conditions since 2022 (Hammoud and Shuayb, 2022; Hammoud, 2023; Hammoud and Brun, 2025), documenting trends in salaries, essential household expenditures, and the perceived impacts of the crises on teachers’ wellbeing and the education system. 

The 2025 online survey engaged a total of 828 teachers from all eight Lebanese governorates and across diverse age groups. Among respondents, 75% were females, 59% reported teaching in private schools, and 46% in public schools. Within the public school group, 56% indicated working on a permanent full-time basis, while 44% reported contractual employment.
