EDUCATION
• 82 percent of Yemen’s population needs humanitarian relief according to
OCHA. How will Yemen keep up with the ever-growing technological
world?
• The short answer, education. Yemen may never be as advanced as other
countries but will it will be much easier to catch up if more efforts are
placed on education.

EDUCATION
• Roughly 2 million children do not have access to education per Relief
Web. Since the escalation of conflict in 2015, humanitarian issues have
only gotten worse.
• United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says,
“More than 600 health facilities and 1,600 schools remained closed due
to conflict-related damages.”

EDUCATION
• To worsen the problem, aid to education has fallen 4% between 2013 and
2014 reported by the EFA Global Monitoring Report team.
• There is good news. I think Yemen will benefit from other technological
advances happening around the world.

EDUCATION
• For example, Google Loon could give people in rural parts of Yemen
internet activity, which could open the door for Yemenis to apply
technology at home.
• A combination of technological advancements and emphasis in education
for Yemenis could push the people toward progression. To build a brighter
future, I think emphasis must be placed on education in Yemen.
