The American Center for Justice (ACJ) said that there were many violations that affected the educational process in Yemen during the war, after the military control of Sanaa by the Houthi militia and the overthrow of the legitimate government at the end of September 2014 and the subsequent military intervention of the Arab Alliance at the end of March 2015, where education conditions in the country worsened in general, which led to the occurrence of several violations that affected education, both directly and indirectly.

In its first report, entitled "The Forgotten Crime", which highlights the catastrophic state of the education sector due to the war ignited by the Houthi coup militia, the American Center for Justice (ACJ) made it clear that it monitored and investigated a large part of the violations that affected the educational process and everything related to it in a manner that meets all legal standards.

The report listed all the effects on the educational system, the educational process and the physical structure of educational constructions in a number of primary and secondary schools as they occurred according to their sequence, and the repercussions of all this on students and teachers through the analysis of field data, including the damage caused to the future of huge numbers of students and teachers as a result of displacement due to the ongoing war, in addition to the deterioration of living conditions.

It pointed out that many Yemenis lost their jobs, as well as 170,000 teachers were completely cut off from salaries four years ago in the areas under the control of the Houthis, with the exception of a small amount of money that was disbursed through UNICEF for a few months, and in areas affiliated with the legitimacy on an intermittent basis.

In the process of documenting violations, the American Center for Justice confirmed that it relied on investigative field research through which it conducted an in-depth and direct investigation inspection of the sites of the attacks and the facts. In addition to field visiting has done by the center's monitors who are in more than one Governorate in Yemen, conducting interviews with the victims and their families and listening to the statements of the informants, and communicating with those in charge of official educational institutions and listening to them about the damages and violations that affected the educational process during the war period, whether direct or indirect.

The chairman of the American Center for Justice, Abdul Rahman Berman, says that the education sector in Yemen is considered one of the most important sectors undermined by the war, and that the talk is not about destroying schools and attacks that are recorded here and there, but the process goes beyond that and is represented in ideologizing and sectarianizing the minds of generations and booby-trapping their future with sectarian ideas that contradict the societal security and peace.

The vice-chairman of the Center, Latifa Jamel, said that the Houthis are making fundamental changes in the educational curricula based on sectarian and ideological foundations, which results in bombing schools, recruiting children to fight, arresting teachers and cutting teachers’ salaries, which is a partial detail within the goal of turning Yemen into one sectarian and religious color.

The report discussed the impact of the war on the education sector in eight axes, all of which came after the general context and legal framework of the report, including the bombing of dozens of schools, the bombing of 21 educational and religious schools and the conversion of 14 schools into military barracks. It also monitored 1579 teachers who were killed since the beginning of the war, and 2,624 teachers were injured, in addition to the arrest of 621 teachers, the forcible disappearance of 36 teachers and the forcible displacement of 142 teachers.

With regard to the recruitment of children, the American Center for Justice monitored during the past year only the recruitment of 100 children under the age of fifteen by the Houthi group in the capital Sanaa and the number of 111 cases in the Governorate.

It pointed out that the salaries of more than 170,000 teachers living under the Houthi militia's control have been cut for five years, despite the group's financial ability to pay their salaries, but it is exploiting this humanitarian aspect in purely political swaps.

It touched on the fundamental changes in the school curricula made by the Iranian-affiliated militia based on racism, sectarianism and religious and sectarian incitement.
