What LAES الهيئة اللبنانية للعلوم التربوية does

LAES (الهيئة اللبنانية للعلوم التربوية - Lebanese Association for Educational Sciences) is a non-political, non-profit professional association established in Beirut in 1995. Its members are academic professors and educational researchers drawn from Lebanese universities and educational institutions, and its stated mission is to develop and disseminate educational knowledge, strengthen the educational scientific community, interact with peer bodies in Arab countries, and contribute to educational development in Lebanon and the broader Arab world.

The organization does not develop or sell technology products. Its core "products" are knowledge and convening outputs: books and academic reports (e.g., 'The New and Possible in Mathematics Education - The Case of Lebanon', 1997), annual and special conferences, the recurring 'Seventh Day Meetings' (لقاء اليوم السابع) dialogue series, annual reports documenting activities (2008-2019), and an editorial blog covering curriculum, teacher training, AI in education, and policy topics. No software platform, API, mobile app, or proprietary technology stack is associated with LAES.

As a non-profit association, LAES has no disclosed revenue, pricing model, or commercial GTM motion. Its go-to-market is academic and institutional: it distributes its work through membership networks, conference participation, publications, and formal partnerships with international donors and policy bodies including UNESCO, UNICEF, the World Bank, the European Union, Lebanon's Ministry of Education and Higher Education, the Issam Fares Institute at AUB, the Lebanese American University, the Arab Council for Social Sciences, and the Kuwaiti Society for the Advancement of Arab Childhood. Operations are run by an executive committee of academic professionals on a small 8-employee base.

Broad incumbents
