A large media campaign denounced the Houthi organized targeting of the educational process in the country, which targets national identity and societal coexistence, works to spread sectarian thought and poses a threat to future generations and the future of Yemen as a whole.
The electronic campaign, which was organized by a number of activists and media professionals under the hashtag #No_to_Sectarianization_of_Education, on various social media sites, included hundreds of tweets aimed at spreading awareness about the danger of the amendments imposed by the Houthi militia on school curricula.
The participants in the campaign called on the legitimate government and the Ministry of Education to play their role in confronting the terrorist Houthi militia's targeting of the education sector and confronting attempts to plant sectarian and racial ideas in the minds of future generations.
- Reviving stratification
Journalist and writer Abdullah Al-Munifi said that the educational system in Yemen is considered a gain of the republic for which the free sacrificed and pure blood was shed, and it is a point of consensus and a common meeting point between all stakeholders and interest groups, and it is not directed in favor of a specific trend, but rather it consecrates the culture of common unity and the all-inclusive identity of Yemenis.
He added that the Houthi militia's efforts to destroy education in Yemen aim to create an ignorant society that is subject to it and allows it to control and dominate it and involve it in its absurd wars to restore the alleged divine right to rule the Arab and Islamic world.
He said that the sectarian thought that the Houthi militia teaches our children in schools divides society into classes and into masters and slaves, and this is an existential danger and a declared violation of all international humanitarian laws and covenants.
He pointed out that the school is the first stronghold for defending the homeland, and for this reason the Houthi militia rushed to disrupt the educational process by preventing teachers' salaries and booby-trapping curricula to disrupt the role of education in confronting superstition.
Attempting to establish a sectarian system:
In turn, activist and writer Ahmed Abbas said that the Houthi militia is racing against time to poison the educational process and spread its destructive sectarian ideology in the minds of Yemeni children and youth. Since its coup, it has rushed to seize the education sector and establish a sectarian system that is in line with its approach and its exclusionary and terrorist policy, and is destroying social cohesion in the country.
