The third one is the weakness of the academic level in Lebanon where the attraction of the destination countries to the Lebanese people and the lack of experimental fields and the presence of poor managements in the domain. Hence, how are those causes really affecting the Lebanese migration?

This truth is the case of the Lebanese immigrants that are expanded in a lot of foreign lands such as the United States of America, Australia , Arab Gulf region , European countries and others.
