2015 is the year of education in Yemen |
|---|
|
Education has a big significance in the life of every nation that wants to progress. Prime Minister Khaled Bahah has announced that 2015 will be the year of education in Yemen.
In his speech (pictured below), during the annual festival for honouring the top high school students for the school year 2013- 2014, he confirmed the government's commitment to continue to support the education sector. He said: "The immediate objective before us today is to circulate education and make it available for all sons of the Yemeni people so as to achieve the goals of Education for All."
Mr Bahah pointed to the importance of improving the quality of education and linking it to the needs of economic and social development. In this regard, he urged workers in the educational sector to shoulder their responsibility by seeking to benefit from new and feasible experiences in the educational field. Sadam Al-Adwar, Global Youth Ambassador from Yemen
As a Global Youth Ambassador from Yemen, I believe education is the answer to the greatest challenges we face as a society. In this year for education in Yemen, we can work hard to ask leaders to raise budgets, build schools, train teachers and improve learning for all children, especially those iin this country.
It has been shown that over one million children are out of school in Yemen and about 30% of students do not have a desk to sit at when in school. Unless we reverse current trends, we will not even achieve the second Millennium Development Goal of universal primary education until 2086.
Yemen is passing through a very critical time where education is facing many problems as well as a lot of conflict issues around the country. If we want to achieve the strategy of this year, we must put in our mind that there is no place in our educational institutions for political or sectarian affiliation and we have to work firmly in order to give attention to talented students. 2015 has already started and we look forward to seeing the Ministry of Education in Yemen doing its part in developing educational policies, curricula, teaching and evaluation methods, and in providing effective professional development for teachers, administrators and educationalist to contribute to the education improvement of Yemen. |

It is really nice that 2015 is declared "Year of Education" in Yemen. Making 2015 a successful education year will be a big collective responsibility of all in Yemen. Education is extremely important for progress and prosperity of Yemen. Thanks for sharing , Sadam. During the course of the year , we would be curious to know the positive steps taken by your govt for education to give true meaning to an Education year.

Congratulations Sadam that the King announced this year as the year of education where you put your utmost effort. The importance of education has always been emphasized but lack of substantial action because the effect of education comes slower than construction and natural resource development. But indeed education is the key for any country's competitiveness. Well educated people will be the key persons in every sector like engineering, banking, law and etc. Without improving education, there's no sustainable growth.

Dear Sadam thank you for sharing this wonderful step of Yemen government. I am so happy to hear prime minister Khaled has announced 2015 as the year of education in Yemen. Like you said education is the foundation for every development (personal, social, cultural or national). I am hopeful those over million children will have access to education and 30% of the students will have a desk to sit at school. I wish you all the best in your endeavor as a global youth ambassador. Keep working keep sharing :)
