Updated March 10, 2019The United Nations children’s fund is paying some 100,000 teachers in Yemen, the UN said Sunday, as two million children go without education in the war-torn country.
The UN estimates that out of seven million school-age children in Yemen over two million are not being educated as infrastructure has been destroyed or repurposed to house those displaced by the four-year conflict. “The situation of Yemen’s education sector is daunting,” said Geert Cappelaere, UNICEF’s regional director for the Middle East and North Africa.
Rights groups have warned the loss of education poses a major threat to the well-being of children, who are at increased risk of being recruited into militias, forced into labour or married off young.
