Branch 1 formed the first nucleus of the Faculty of Pedagogy and the entire Lebanese University. It was established in 1951 under the name “Higher Teachers’ School” with the aim of preparing teachers for formal secondary education. It became later known as the “Faculty of Pedagogy” in 1967 after setting out its functions.

In 1979, the Faculty was reorganized after amendments made to its structure, functions, duration of study, certificates granted, and enrollment conditions.

The Faculty is considered the first faculty established in the Lebanese University, while Branch 2 was established in 1977.
