Article Summary:
Kindergarten for Sale
A large state-owned kindergarten is to be illegally sold to a private investor, who plans to build a commercial center in its place. It is alleged that the Faihaa kindergarten – built in 1975 in Sheikh Othman, Aden – lies in a dangerous spot of the road where there is a lot of traffic.
The kindergarten occupies a large area and is located on a main road in an important part of the city. The strange thing is that the kindergarten’s administration was not informed of the intended sale.
There are more than 350 children enrolled in the Faihaa under the supervision of 44 staff members. Parents have to pay a fee of YR 200 only. Government funding for the kindergarten was stopped following the 1994 war.
