Millennium Fellowship Project: EmpowerEd
In response to the collapsing education system in Lebanon, I propose the establishment of "EmpowerEd", a tech-enabled platform that provides access to quality education to students from low-income families.
Our platform will offer a range of educational resources, including interactive videos, online courses, and personalized learning plans, that are tailored to each student's needs and learning style. We will also partner with local schools and educational institutions to provide our students with access to mentorship programs and internship opportunities.
To ensure the effectiveness of our platform, we will conduct regular assessments and collect feedback from students, teachers, and parents. Our long-term goal is to bridge the education gap in Lebanon and empower students to reach their full potential, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
