                                               healthy new generation that will

                                               make a positive contribution to the
                                               country. Yemen is now on the
                                               brink of such a situation. The edu-
                                               cation system, which suffered
                                               numerous problems in the past, is
                                               now facing increasingly profound
                                               difficulties because of the increas-
