Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:
Recently, a number of parents complained that the classrooms in private schools were overcrowded with dozens of students without taking into account the most basic standards.
Some parents said that the demand for private schools increased as a result of the lack of disciplined teaching in government schools in light of the interruption of salaries.
Increasing number of students
Umm Ammar Abdel Rahman. A fourth grader, she says. My son's behavior has changed 180 degrees from previous years and the reason is the increase in the number of students in his class and the occurrence of constant friction.
add. The number of students was less than 20 students, and I saw them a lot compared to the size of the class, as it is a private school with small buildings, until I discovered that there was severe overcrowding in the last two years.
This causes constant altercations between them and a great deal of inaction by teachers and supervisors in performing their duties, following up on students and solving their problems.
She concluded. The least class has 30 students and we have nothing but patience because thinking about changing the school is out of the question and will require searching for new housing and a high rent, and in the end you will encounter the same situation.
In the context of the chaos created by the militia, including the destruction of the educational institution and the suspension of all expenditures on public education, the existing situation was exploited and fees and levies, most of which were unofficial, were imposed on private schools.
Numerous complaints indicated that millions of riyals go to the supervisors' pockets, including taxes, duties and other matters related to the group's activities and religious events that take place throughout the year.
unbearable situation
Umm Iyad Ahmed. An elementary school student remembered her saying. I bear the responsibility of working to provide fees and an income that covers our daily needs, and on top of that, I find my son returning from school as he went.
I have lost the solutions, I have no choice but to put pressure on myself and follow his lessons first-hand as much as possible, as he is in an essential stage.
Emphasizing that the educational process has become completely marginal, and education is focused on changing the curriculum and taking large sums of money as taxes that are directly reflected on parents.
This comes at a time when Yemen has been classified by UN organizations among the countries that fail in education, such as Iraq, Syria and Sudan. In addition, the Yemeni student in the basic and university stages became suffering if he moved to another country as a result of that classification and the continuation of the war at the expense of the educational process.
