Education Cannot Wait announced new funding for education in Yemen. This is a timely reminder about the fragile situation of education in Yemen:
“A decade of conflict has taken a heavy toll on Yemen’s future generation. Only six out of 10 Yemeni children are in school; and even when they are able to access education, schools are often overcrowded and under-resourced.
“The war in Yemen, which began in September 2014, continues to put millions of people at risk. Economic collapse, natural disaster, disease outbreaks and hunger are impacting the lives and futures of 11 million children. Heavy rains and floods in August 2024 wiped out vital infrastructure including schools, displaced families and destroyed homes in multiple regions.”
