The Director General of Al-Mabarrat Charitable Association Dr. Mohammad Baqer Fadlallah then delivered a speech in which he affirmed that for 40 years “Al-Mabarrat has followed an approach of renewal, development and modernization in the fields, the curricula and the methods of work in a way suited to the age's requirements and life's new developments, and in a way that responds to society's needs. Forty years have passed, to be a source of reflection for the future - and the challenges are many.”
He affirmed that the curricula of Al-Mabarrat's schools are one, from southern Lebanon to its Bekaa to its heart, enumerating their programmes, their contribution to removing social disparities, and their adoption of education in dialogue and openness.”
He valued the role of fathers and mothers in accompanying and following up their children, noting the graduates and their achievements and affirming that they would be “models of guidance on the paths of those who walk Al-Mabarrat's approach”. He called on them to “be the example and the model wherever you are, in knowledge, in character and in communication with the other”.
He concluded by saying: “Forty years, and Al-Mabarrat will continue to write the tales for a glowing tomorrow; it cuts the road towards distinction and faces the challenges so as to remain the renaissance, developmental and renewing project with everything the age's progress requires - and so as to continue to fill the expanses of the homeland with seasons of goodness and giving and with stories of success and achievement.”
For his part the head of the third-cycle section at Imam Al-Hassan High School Imad Ahmad delivered the administration's speech, in which he noted that “Al-Mabarrat in its fortieth year represents an exceptional value in society's conscience, in addition to its institutions, which blaze with radiance from the thought of the founder Allama the Marja Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah and the mark he left, which led to the qualitative advancement of these institutions”.
The ceremony closed with the distribution of shields and certificates to the graduates. The celebration also witnessed the graduation of the pupil Fatima Chamaouni in the economics branch with a grade of good, after her victory over the illness that kept her away from school for most days of the year.
