206,000 Persons on the Payroll of the Ministry of Education [Archives:1999/10/Local News]
March 8 1999
One of the biggest problems of the budget of the Government of Yemen is the disproportionate amount of payroll expenditures. Of the total budget, some 60-70% goes to salaries.
The situation in the Ministry of Education gives a glaring picture of the situation. Dr. Yahia Al-Shu’aibi, the Minister, told the Yemen Times that the number of teachers and support staff has reached 206,000. “We are trying to transfer to 30,000 persons to a fund to be established by the Ministry of Civil Service,” he indicated.
