Sanaa, Newsyemen, Exclusive:
The Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, forced teachers working in public schools in the areas under its control to participate in the process of administering the exams for students of the primary and secondary diplomas and overseeing them in exchange for small sums of money.
Teachers involved in monitoring secondary and basic examinations in the capital, Sanaa, told NewsYemen: The Houthi militia threatened them with dismissal if they refused to participate in the examination monitoring. And when they asked her to allocate money as rewards for them in return for that, small sums were allocated to them, as only five hundred riyals would be disbursed to each teacher participating in examining supervision.
The teachers described the sum of the five hundred riyals as an insult that the Houthi militia intends to deal with with teachers, teachers and educators in general, especially since this amount is not sufficient even to pay the cost of transportation for the teacher between his residence and the school in which he watches, adding that the Houthi militia has allocated hundreds of millions of budgets for the examination process without Someone knows where it is being spent.
According to the teachers, whom NewsYemen spoke to, the Houthi militia spend sums ranging from 2000 to 10 thousand riyals to Houthi supervisors who only pass to schools on some days, while teachers are insulted by the amount of five hundred riyals.
It is worth noting that teachers in the capital, Sanaa and the Houthi militia-controlled areas, work without salaries, as the militias refrain from disbursing their salaries, and if it happens, half of the salary is paid to them three times during the year, while funds are collected from students of government schools under various names, including support for the war effort, not to mention the militias excluding all the educational cadres opposing them and replacing them with leaderships affiliated with them, many of them outside the educational corps.
