New Houthi changes in school curricula that reinforce dependency and reinforce Khomeini's ideology
English - Monday 29 August 2022 الساعة 10:00 amThe terrorist Houthi militia, Iran's arm in Yemen, has continued, since its fateful coup against power, its blatant interference in the processes of changing the school curricula that would create a new intellectual and social reality, ensuring Tehran's long-term goals in establishing an ideological awareness that consolidates Iranian influence in Yemen.
Educational sources in Sanaa told (NewsYemen) that the leadership of the Houthi militia in the Ministry of Education has made systematic and fundamental distortions to the educational curricula in a way that perpetuates its sectarian approach and ideas.
It added that the school curricula for the new academic year in its basic and preparatory stages showed that the militia had made about 420 distortions in the curricula, devoted to the idea of the Imamate entitlement to rule in Yemen and the strengthening of the divine right of the Imamate dynasty to entitlement to wealth and the necessity of subordination and submission to the order of its leaders and symbols.
She stated that the militia deleted the lessons that dealt with the lives of historical Yemeni personalities who fought with Muslims against the Persians, such as the lesson of Amr bin Maad Yakrib al-Zubaidi, who participated in the Battle of Qadisiyah and the killing of Rustam, in addition to deleting the names of the companions and introducing them with the exception of Ali bin Abi Talib and those who participated with him in the Battle of Siffin. Like Ammar bin Yasir, she added a lesson on the battle of Karbala according to the Iranian narrative, which was steeped in mobilization, blood, and calls for revenge for the events that occurred 14 centuries ago.
According to the sources, the militias omitted lessons related to the anniversary of September 26, the anniversary of the Yemeni revolution that took place against the rule of the Imamate in 1962, and worked to improve the image of the Imamate in front of students, and made sectarian amendments to it, such as: Wilayat, glorifying the symbols of terrorist militias; And planting ideas inciting violence, in addition to attacking the republican system of the country.
The sources pointed out that the change of curricula comes within the efforts of the Houthis and the Tehran regime to create a new intellectual and social reality, within the framework of creating a generation amalgamated with sectarian ideas in a way that guarantees their far-reaching goals and frames the ideological presence of the Iranian project in Yemen.
The sources pointed out that the militias, through the new distorted curricula, eroded education and the national and Arab national identity, and imposed ideological ideas that contribute to saturating the student with an extremist combat ideology, making him easy to obey, and turning into fuel for their absurd battles.
The Houthi militia has recently intensified the establishment of sectarian courses, and imposed the Khomeinist cry in the school queue, in addition to holding celebrations and activities of a sectarian nature in schools and universities in Sanaa and the areas under its control.
