Honoring the great is a necessity. Lebanon is a role model and Abu-Ghazaleh is a model

At every step there is an imprint, in every moment of achievement, only the great ones are immortalized and remembered by history. They are men whose deeds have been a retaliation for them, and who are still good role models and a flame and a shining light that has illuminated the path of many. They worked to create an Arab history full of heroism and achievements, which will be passed down from generation to generation. Among these great people is the Arab thinker Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh.

I have always spoken and stated that it is imperative that civic education textbooks in schools and universities mention the role of this patriotic man, who has founded and continues to establish many for nearly five decades. He gave a lot to science and the world. Abu Ghazaleh was called "Confucius of this nation" in an article of mine, and it is incumbent upon this nation to do him justice and remind him of what he deserves. He started his educational career decades ago at Ghaziyeh Public School in South Lebanon, which today is called Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh School. This school forms the nucleus of the process of digital transformation and innovation in public schools in Lebanon

Perhaps what the caretaker Government has done in the Lebanese Arab Republic deserves praise when it mentions Arab scientists and intellectuals and consolidates their names so that history can remember them and benefit generations and children. For example, when a primary student learns that his school bears the name of the Arab thinker Dr. Talal, he will look for his upbringing and development, and this will be a catalyst for success and progress for students. Today, their school bears the name of a man who began his educational career as a child and young person similar to them, but the solid determination and useful science made his name shine in dozens of cities in the world and are associated with science, thinking and innovation.

Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh expressed his happiness for the great honor, stressing that all that he has done and is offering to Lebanon is not a favor but a national duty towards his second country and its good and hospitable people. Whoever was able to reach the highest ranks in the world as a refugee because of the terror of the enemy gives hope to the Arab nation that it has a lot to do.

I hope that many Arab countries will follow the example of the Lebanese Arab Republic, which has always been a pioneer in science and knowledge, and that this will be expanded by mentioning its success stories in national education textbooks. The man not only introduced to the Arab economy, but also provided success stories that must be mentioned and will be remembered by history.

In short, for those interested in science, work and knowledge, they should know that Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global Organization, which he founded with his efforts and determination, has become today a model for leading companies in the field of innovation and business development, everyone knows that Abu-Ghazaleh Global today is among the largest international companies in its field, and provides many diverse advisory services, and strives to improve the performance of companies, develop local communities, and contribute to sustainable development and environmental protection.
