The collapse of children's education in Yemen

Education in Yemen
Do you know how important education is for future generations? And how dangerous it is for children's future when it stops?
That is our subject today… And however much it frightens you and worries everyone, there will be a shock at the end…
Follow to the end
What have the Houthis done to education?

They have turned education in Yemen into a humanitarian disaster unprecedented in the history of the world, through three extremely dangerous means, as follows:
First: arms stores
The group has used schools by turning them into military barracks and camps for its armed militias, and the schools it was forced to leave it has tried to destroy or blow up.
Second: exploiting the absence of the state
They have made schools military headquarters, and they try to win over the students of the schools that kept their protection, by deceiving them or using force to recruit children and women there.
Many children have been abducted by force, or by exploiting their need for food and shelter.
Third: booby-trapping the curricula
And here I mean booby-trapping; focus on the word booby-trapping. It means the group has changed the school curricula, from the first grades, so that pupils learn sectarianism, racism and incitement to violence, killing and destruction, and pupils are encouraged from a young age to carry weapons and to hate everyone who differs from the Houthi group in sect or doctrine.
The figures say that the war has caused about 1,400 schools across Yemen to close, and that the number of schools no longer fit for use has risen to 1,600.
 According to the available statistics, 70% of teachers have not received their salaries for about a year, and neither the Houthi militia nor the legitimate government and the Arab coalition have kept their promises to teachers in the areas they control.

Why are the Houthis destroying education in Yemen?
To turn the next generation into an armed, bloodthirsty militia, ready to join terrorist groups and in revolt against the laws of the state.
These means will turn the coming generations into a time bomb threatening social peace and international security; they may form groups more terrifying than ISIS and Al-Qaeda, and it will be easy for them to join the cycle of violence and carry out an agenda hostile to the Arabs, and to the Gulf in particular.

What is left of education because of the Houthis' wars?
The Houthis have destroyed not only schools but also Quran schools, institutes and centres of higher education. Most of them have been blown up and some have become almost empty, and they took pupils from the orphanage to mobilise them on the front lines, ……………….. the majority, with displacement, have been deprived of education.
And they took the teachers' salaries for more than two years, which left teachers unable to carry on with teaching.
According to a report recently published by UNICEF, about 4.5 million pupils in Yemen were deprived of continuing their education in 2017. This was the result of a strike by teachers demanding their salaries, which had not been paid for more than a year. And although education is the main factor behind the success of the most politically and economically stable countries in the world, and the main factor in cultural and historical renaissances,  education  in Yemen today has stopped almost entirely. The school year has begun
and the schools are closed and empty of pupils.

So what is the solution in the face of such a disaster?
Now that we know the problem, it is natural to find ways to solve it, and so that our material is not only problems, we must have a set of solutions that many may find great.
We must not hang our children's hope and their future on the hateful actions of the Houthis or of other parties; rather, we must find radical and great solutions.
Let me give you some extremely important information about education in the old era and the modern one, so that we can help defeat the plan of the enemies of childhood in the world.
Classical education, or what is called education the usual way, has become part of a complicated, distant past; it kills creativity and thought and turns pupils into robots, copies of the same old models. These teaching methods belong to old times and have outlived their expected lifespan.

What do you think has changed… in education over hundreds of years?
Meanwhile the world is constantly changing and developing fast,
and no two people in the world would agree that all minds are the same, or that pupils are equal in talent, ambition and thinking.
So why do we try to force them to be old copies and confine them to a pre-prepared education and curriculum, so that they are like cakes from one identical mould?
What if a doctor prescribed one medicine for all patients!
Wouldn't that be a tragic disaster, and how many people would die because of it?
And that is what happens in traditional schools, when a teacher stands in front of 20 pupils, each of them with different names, talents, ambitions and dreams,
and teaches the same curriculum to all of them! Isn't that a disaster?
So that my message is not misunderstood: the fault is not in the teacher, but in the education system, which gives the teacher a low salary and confines him to the same compulsory curriculum.
The teacher should be given many times what the doctor is given: if doctors treat one patient, teachers make the doctors, the leaders, the thinkers, the soldiers and the great.
As well as a higher salary, the teacher should be given the freedom to choose the curriculum according to what the pupil's interest requires.
Look at what letters were like in the past… and what they have become today
What surgery was like in the past… and what it has become today
What aeroplanes were like in the past… and what they have become today.
And sadly, education old and new is still at the same level.
If pupils represent 20% of the present, they represent 100% of the future.

My message to parents
We were born after the year 2000… please understand our message.
The world is changing and our education must change. Nobody will be able to threaten our future any more if you keep pace with modern technology.

As you know, by 2030 two billion jobs in the world will disappear completely.
The first job to disappear will be the electrical engineer, and people will use clean energy such as solar power, wind power and others.
Whoever spends their money on their children so that they become pilots should know that in 2030 all planes will be pilotless, so they will get nothing from that job.
MIT, the biggest university in America, has put out 130 million learning materials for distance learning over the internet, doing away with nearly 90% of teacher-led education.
In 2030 the job of news reporter will disappear and be replaced by apps.
The biggest taxi company in the world, UBER, does not own a single taxi; all it owns is an app.
The biggest property company in the world is a website.
The biggest travel company in the world is an app, BOOKING

To parents… try to stop the war waged by this hateful terrorist group, so that you can begin to draw up a plan for your children that suits their ambitions and ideas and makes their dreams come true, so that in ten years we have a generation leading the nation towards comprehensive development, with mature, educated and aware minds.
Get rid of this group so that a legitimate government takes its place: even if it lets the people down, it provides legal cover to claim your children's rights and send them abroad to study by the best means in the world.
At least with a government you can demand that it provide basic services and salaries for teachers, hold it to account before the world and change it by legal means; and if the government does not fear God, it will fear the anger of the international community.
Whereas this group does not fear God in its treatment of you and has no regard for people's interests, throwing international laws to the wind.
Real peace means stopping this group and taking its weapons away from it.
