Parents of students complained that a number of private school administrations in Ibb Governorate (central Yemen) are forcing students to hand in their first semester curricula, despite having purchased them for large sums of money.

Educational sources in the capital, Sana'a, said that the Houthi militia imposed a two-week "sectarian" cultural course for employees of private schools, including employees of Al-Nahda Private Schools.

With the beginning of each school year in Ibb Governorate, which is under the control of the terrorist Houthi militia, the eyes of thousands of citizens turn towards private schools to register their children in them, escaping from government schools that the militia has turned into incubators for its sectarian project and reception camps to attract recruits. However, the administrations of private schools are now facing great pressure from the militia, which has set its sights on their institutions to confiscate them.

The decline of public education in Sanaa, which is under the control of the Houthi militia, and the deterioration it suffered as a result of the interruption of salaries, prompted school teachers to leave teaching and go in search of freelance work, in order to provide a living for their families. This and other factors related to Houthi violations in the field of public education, contributed to The rush of students to private schools, a large part of which has been transformed from sanctified educational edifices into investment projects.

The terrorist Houthi militia has begun obligating private schools in the capital, Sanaa, to appoint educational mentors and cultural officials. To continue implementing its sectarian project targeting students at all educational levels.
