Yemeni government plans temporary remote learning for students in conflict zones

Yemen's government, through the Ministry of Education, plans to support a local initiative in Taiz province to provide remote learning for students unable to attend classes due to security conditions. This is intended as a temporary solution to safeguard students' right to education and protect their academic future.

According to a statement from the ministry, reported by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the safety of students and teachers is the top priority. The resumption of in-person classes depends on the availability of safe conditions in schools and on routes to them.

The ministry confirmed that education offices, in coordination with local authorities, will inform families of the specific arrangements for each area based on local assessments, prioritizing the safety and continued learning of children. The ministry also reaffirmed its responsibility to provide education based on the approved national curriculum, maintaining schools as safe environments for learning, knowledge-building, and the promotion of citizenship, coexistence, and social peace.
