BEIRUT: The number of Lebanese students enrolled at the Harvard Kennedy School, one of the most prestigious public policy institutes in the world, is not as high as it should be, according to an official from the institution.

Alexandra Martinez, assistant dean for student diversity and inclusion, visited Lebanon this week to spread the word about the programs offered at HKS. Although the number of its students from the Arab world has increased in the past decade, there continues to be a shortage of students from Lebanon.

“Over the last 10-15 years we have more than tripled the number of Arab students ... at HKS,” Martinez told The Daily Star.
