Abstract :Through education and only education a fragmented society can be rebuilt and developed. In order to reach this aim, a country’s education system should be carefully considered, planned, organized, applied and evaluated. However, in a politically and economically unstable country like Lebanon, the Lebanese society went through several conflicts which laid its adverse effect on the education sector. Therefore, in order to plan for a better future and a better education system, first we need to determine and analyze the factor which led to the fall back of the Lebanese public curriculum. This research has a qualitative research design and it aims to investigate the stakeholders’ perspectives with the help of the data obtained by face-to-face interviews and focus groups. The study depicts the stakeholders’ frustration regarding the currently used curriculum as they all agreed and stressed the importance of developing a new curriculum which suits the students’ needs and abilities. Also, their responses indicated the presence of several problems and gaps within curriculum elements itself.
