The newspaper's political editor says in an article Yemeni universities are living a state of backwardness and reproduce illiteracy and thus greatly contribute to impeding development. All that because they have turned from forums of science, education and studies and research, into merely places for leisure timed and sterile political conflicts between political parties. The universities students rendered to just followers of this or that group of professors and without apparent goal. This situation emphasises a state of illiteracy spread among circles of universities caused by failing education.
