The Ministry of Education, run by the Houthi leader Yahya al-Houthi, announced the names of 75 male and female students in the republic for the secondary certificate exam, the scientific section, 18 of them with equal grades in the tenth bis, and 14 others in the ninth bis, while 13 came in the eighth bis. and 9 in the order of the seventh bis.
