Sanaa, NewsYemen:
As part of its efforts to tighten control over the education sector, the Houthi militia - the Iranian arm in Yemen - seeks to impose school activities with sectarian and sectarian tendencies on students and members of private schools in Sana'a.
The Houthi militia directed the directors of education offices in the capital Sana'a and the neighboring governorates, with what it described as "the necessity of activating the extra-curricular school activities against aggression and highlighting them in the school radio, wall magazine, posters and other activities."
The Houthi circular included changing the names of private schools "with a foreign name or having the name of a country of aggression," while it is considered a tendency to erase the features of Yemeni cultural identity.
The Houthi militia prevented the establishment of private education schools for regular school trips outside the city in which the school is located in its geographical surroundings, and the circular issued on September 9 included the ban on holding school parties outside the school campus.
Workers in the education sector considered Houthi circulars to private education schools aimed at the group’s endeavor to impose cultural and ideological activities of the group on school students, as part of a future program that seeks to militarize private education schools and compensate for the losses of the fronts from the output of these schools.
