阅读理解Learning doesn't have to end when people age. In fact, today's seniors want to remain socially engaged, intellectually stimulated (激发), and an active part of their communities according to a university in Lebanon. That's why the university opened The University for Seniors that gives older adults — 50 and up — an opportunity for lifelong learning. Founded in 2010, the school has about 500 new students every year, even during the height of the pandemic when classes were virtual. The university includes two three-month semesters and students can take any class they want regardless of their educational level. There are no exams or graduation certificates. This school is all about lifelong learning. The available classes include political science, public health, agriculture, sciences, women's affairs, as well as creative classes in drawing, painting and music. Language classes include English, French and Spanish. The classes are taught by volunteers. One student, Mariam Koubaissy, 85, took drawing classes because it was her childhood dream to learn to draw, but life got in the way. Her dream does not die, though. She said, "Now half a century later, my dream came true and I was proud to have walked through those gates. "The university provides more than just education. Former banker Youssef Bakri, 84, has been a student for over 10 years. He said, "Studying is food for the brain, and among the various lectures, there are psychology lessons that support us very much at our age. "Studies show that seniors can reapmany benefits by continuing to learn new things. Lifelong learning keeps the brain stimulated, challenged and fully engaged. This helps seniors remain mentally alert while they age. With the percentage of over 65s in Lebanon's population growing, The University for Seniors is filling a very important role in the lives of its students.
