Article Summary:
Education
By Dr. Abdulrahman Jamel
Education is the most important investment in human resources. The first step to reform the education system was already made by the Minister of Education by conducting comprehensive surveys to diagnose the maladies and establish essential databases. The second step is to remedy the teachers’ conditions; materially, psychologically and socially.
A national conference must be held to discuss education issues and draw plans for the future. Education is not the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, but of all society. The low level of education in Yemen must be fully addressed in order for the development process to succeed.
