Sanaa, NewsYemen, Exclusive:
After 6 years of almost complete absence of a textbook, in the Houthi-controlled areas, the militias decided to release one book that includes all the books every month, in an effort to tamper with the school curriculum targeting the youth and children generation and nourishing the young minds with backward racist ideas.
Houthi leader, Hussein Al-Ezzi, said in a tweet: “No more heavy bags.”
He added, Sanaa is the capital of leaders and creative ideas, including merging the eight or nine subjects in a book that distinguishes each of them a special color, and for each month of the school year one book instead of that a student should carry 8 or 9 books throughout the year.
For their part, educators of the Ministry of Education considered this decision a catastrophic decision that would destroy the educational process.
Professor Najla Ali told "Newsyemen", a catastrophe for science and the teacher, it is the main goal to set us back a hundred years.
She adds, the teacher's salary was not cut except for the implementation of malicious goals and bad intentions to break the scientific pyramid and reduce it and shorten it to the goals they seek to achieve, which are well-known, including the teaching of Hussainiyat, Shiite doctrine, and Khomeinism.
Professor Huda Numan said, studies, books and schools will be reduced until they prevent and forbid studying for every Yemeni.
She added, "They were not able to provide a book all year long, but now they will print a book every month!”
She emphasized, "The intentions cannot be good, but the subtleties have other goals and there is no interest in the interest of the student," adding: "If they do not respect the teachers and deprive them of their rights, then is it reasonable that they care about the student’s interest. "
Eliminate education
S.N says, another nail in the coffin of education after the privatization of public schools, the issuance of a new decision to merge books means canceling most of the lessons and shortening the curriculum.
And she adds, this decision does not benefit the student except from reducing the load of books only, as for education, it is a demolition, not a building.
Anisa Muhammad, a housewife, said, "The student usually takes two classes per day, but now after this decision, he will only study one class each day, where one class will be enough to completed the monthly book."
For his part, Professor Majid Al-Qurashi saw merging books into a book, as this is a clear disrespect for teachers.
He added, one book and one teacher for all subjects in preparation for getting rid of the educational staff.
There is no other goal of this decision
Professor Ghada says that it is a continuation of the decision to privatize public schools, as they announced in the decision to privatize schools that they will give the teacher a salary of sixty thousand in exchange for teaching in the morning in government schools, and in privatized schools for a fee of sixty thousand, and if the curriculum will be in one book, the intention is to reduce scientific subjects and focus on the religious and sectarian materials of the group.
Therefore, she adds, only teacher or two will be sufficient to teach the book, so they will not need teachers in public schools and privatized schools.
