The Association of Yemeni Universities Delegates and other scholarship agencies in Malaysia issued a statement denouncing the delay in disbursing the dues of students on scholarships abroad.

The statement, which was directed to each of the President of the Republic, the Prime Ministers and the House of Representatives, stated that there is a gap represented in the deliberate delay in the dues of students on scholarships abroad year after year.

They pointed out that this is offset by a catastrophic failure by the Ministry of Higher Education for not doing its duty and working to reduce this gap despite the presence of the urgent student grant from the "Saudi Program".

The students stressed that everyone suffers as a result of this failure and betrayal, and that dealing lightly with the scholarship file and the consequent problems and pressures on male and female students on scholarships at all levels.

The students of the association, from the reality of the statement, explicitly held the leadership of the ministry fully responsible for this failure and the consequences of this tragic situation in the various scholarship countries years ago.

In their statement, they identified a set of urgent points that must be responded to, as follows:

1. The dismissal and accountability of those responsible for the delay in dues, finding a comprehensive solution to all problems, disbursing all dues, and ensuring the regularity of payment.

2. The speedy disbursement of the dues for the fourth quarter 2020, and the first, second, third and fourth 2021, and the disbursement of allowances for the past five years in accordance with the law.

3. Adopting continuities as well as new university delegates, not counting the Corona pandemic period within the scholarship period and compensating students for a period of no less than six months.  In addition to disbursing travel tickets to them, as they are stranded.

It should be noted that the association confirmed the continuation of student movements and protests until the problem is resolved in a radical way.
