What Kind of Yemen?

Former education problems certainly have a major impact on such

a low score. Levels on such matters as literacy in the country, the num-
ber of girls going to school, school building and internet access are way
below global averages. Yemen emerges as one of the countries with the
most serious education problems in the world.
This negative picture is made even worse by the security void
since the revolution in Yemen in 2011. Lack of material means and
security problems, interrupted transportation and the inability to pro-

vide adequate classes in schools mean that education is disrupted in
many areas. Political uncertainty means that it is almost impossible to
make good on earlier "promises of help" in the education system.

D Domestic peace is essential for a
prosperous state that can look with
confidence to the future of Yemen.
