Educational sources in Sana'a said that the Houthi militia, the Iranian arm in Yemen, refuses to hand over the results of private school students' exams, and requires payment of sums of money in return.

The sources added to NewsYemen that, although nearly a month has passed since the end of the first semester exams, in which the militias imposed the standardized ministerial exam system on all private and government schools for grades from sixth to secondary, they refuse to hand over private schools.

He explained that the militia, through its Education Office, required schools to pay sums of money under the pretext of contributing to covering the financial expenses of standardized tests.

According to the sources, the education offices run by Houthi leaders at the level of each directorate in Sana'a announced a list of the first students from schools at the level of educational districts only, while they continued to withhold the results of students to put pressure on schools to pay royalties.

The Houthi militia had imposed a unified exam system on all public and private schools in Sana'a, prepared by them, starting from the sixth grade to the second secondary grade.

It aims to force schools to indoctrinate students with the sectarian school curriculum that it approved, which included allegations about guardianship, divine right, and reverence for Houthi and Shiite figures, including the founder of the dead Houthi group, Hussein al-Houthi, his father Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and the current militia leader, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.
