“…Students with special educational needs (SEN) have historically been underrepresented in higher education, often driven by the mindset that SEN should be considered a private matter dealt with by the student's family [ [1] , [2] , [3] ]. However, over the last few decades, the number of SEN students attending higher education institutions has increased dramatically, and inclusive education is now recognized as an essential goal by many universities worldwide [ 4 ].…”

“…Education is a process of acquiring knowledge and improving communication skills. It also transforms children through a learning process to achieve a specific objective (Alkhateeb et al, 2022;Abbas et al, 2024). The higher level of motivation of a child will lead to higher achievement as well, as long as the child or learner gives their full attention to learning Kuswanty et al, 2023).…”

Education is a process of acquiring knowledge and improving communication skills. It also transforms children through a learning process to achieve a specific objective. An example is the usage of Social Studies learning (IPS) to support the development of students as competent citizens in terms of knowledge, intellectual processes, and democratic character to participate actively in public life. The subject equips students with basic and social skills to solve daily problems as prospective adult citizens and the background information needed to proceed to higher education. Therefore, this research aimed to determine the influence of applying Lore Lindu culture-based education learning development to elementary school (SD) students. This was achieved through the adoption of different stages of research and development (R&D), which included preliminary study in the form of needs analysis, literature review to determine solutions to the problems encountered, application of Lore Lindu culture-based education learning development, and formulation of a learning model, expert validation, and implementation. The model was subsequently tested at an elementary school in the Sigi District. The results were considered for developing social studies education based on the cultural values of Lore Lindu National Park (TNLL).

“…In addition, two research studies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Kuwait investigated factors that affect teachers' recruitment and retention (Al-Ganim, 2022;Lalish, 2021), but little was reported about the unique challenges that educational leaders face in recruiting and retaining qualified STEM teachers in those rural areas. Finally, many studies conducted in Qatar explored the challenges that teachers face in general (AlKhateeb, 2022;Al-Naimi;, but they did not report on STEM teachers' challenges in rural areas. Harris and Hodges (2018) recommended future research to focus on STEM teachers and compare the lived experiences of STEM teachers to rural teachers in general.…”

Educational leaders in rural areas struggle to recruit and retain highly qualified teachers. Compared to schools in urban and suburban areas, educational leaders in rural areas have difficulties staffing their classrooms with qualified teachers, especially in STEM fields, because of teacher shortage. The purpose of this study was to explore the challenges that educational leaders face in recruiting and retaining qualified STEM teachers in rural areas in Lebanon and the strategies that they use. This qualitative study used grounded theory and focused on the lived experiences of 21 educational leaders of three schools located in rural areas in Lebanon. Questionnaires, interviews, and a researcher journal were used as data sources. To overcome teacher shortage and burnout, the school leaders reported four major challenges that influenced recruiting and retaining qualified teachers: low salaries, underqualified teacher candidates, insufficient educational resources, and low performing students. School leaders noted that successful strategies in recruiting and retaining qualified teachers included: attracting teachers to work in rural areas, recruiting qualified teachers, and maintaining a productive and positive teaching and learning environment. This study added to the existing literature through focusing on the lived experiences of school leaders in Lebanon as well as highlighting the challenges and strategies unique for the Lebanese cultural context.
