Despite the lack of minimum basics for learning, such as classrooms, desks, chairs, boards, and toilets, students in the Sarar District of Abyan Governorate in Southern Yemen would still rather study under trees than lose their education.
When children are out of school, they face many risks and challenges, which can have dire consequences on both their present and their future. Boys and girls deprived of education are more likely to be trapped in a cycle of poverty and unfulfilled potential for the rest of their lives. They are more likely to be victim of violence, child labor and early marriage.
The prolonged conflict in Yemen has had its toll on children's education and well-being. More than half of the 23.4 million people in need in Yemen are children. During 2022, it has been projected that 2.2 million children suffer from acute malnutrition, including 538,000 children expected to experience severe acute malnutrition.
Over two million school-age Yemeni girls and boys are out of school as poverty, conflict and lack of opportunities disrupt their education. While 2,916 schools across Yemen were destroyed, partially damaged, or utilized for non-educational purposes, the majority of the functional schools suffer from classroom overcrowding, reaching in some areas to more than 80 pupils per classroom. Other challenges schoolchildren face includes the unavailability of toilets, water, electricity, textbooks, and supplementary teaching and learning tools.
To add fuel to the fire, two-thirds of teachers in Yemen – over 170,000 in total – have not received a regular salary for more than four years. This puts around four million additional children at risk of disrupted education or dropping out as unpaid teachers quit teaching to find other ways of providing for their families. The Education Cluster in Yemen estimates that 8.5 million need assistance, with about 1.2 million in acute need. And yet as of November 2022, the education sector has only seen under eight percent of the humanitarian funding required to be able to meet the needs.
