This study examines Grade 12 students’ preparedness for the 2026 official examinations within the broader context of compounded crisis and renewed war in Lebanon. The report forms part of a longitudinal monitoring initiative initiated in 2020 to examine the impact of Lebanon’s overlapping crises on students preparing for official examinations. Now in its fourth year, the study seeks to document how ongoing instability, displacement, economic hardship, and educational disruption continue to shape students’ educational trajectories, wellbeing, readiness, and future aspirations. By centring students’ experiences and perceptions, the report provides an evidence-based analysis of the ways in which unequal disruption and protracted crisis are affecting students at one of the most consequential stages of their educational pathways.
