HAITHAM ALAINIThe Future of Yemen Relies on Education

EDUCATION

• 82 percent of Yemen’s population needs humanitarian relief according to

OCHA. How will Yemen keep up with the ever-growing technological

world?

• The short answer, education. Yemen may never be as advanced as other

countries but will it will be much easier to catch up if more efforts are

placed on education.

EDUCATION

• Roughly 2 million children do not have access to education per Relief

Web. Since the escalation of conflict in 2015, humanitarian issues have

only gotten worse.

• United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says,

“More than 600 health facilities and 1,600 schools remained closed due

to conflict-related damages.”

EDUCATION

• To worsen the problem, aid to education has fallen 4% between 2013 and

2014 reported by the EFA Global Monitoring Report team.

• There is good news. I think Yemen will benefit from other technological

advances happening around the world.

EDUCATION

• For example, Google Loon could give people in rural parts of Yemen

internet activity, which could open the door for Yemenis to apply

technology at home.

• A combination of technological advancements and emphasis in education

for Yemenis could push the people toward progression. To build a brighter

future, I think emphasis must be placed on education in Yemen.
