Education disruptions in Taiz, Yemen
Overview
Military escalation and security concerns have led to significant disruptions in the education sector in Taiz. In early October, the Ministry of Education suspended all public and private school classes due to intensified fighting and shelling between government forces and Ansar Allah (Houthi) groups. During this period, reports documented numerous human rights violations, including civilian deaths and damage to residential property.
By late October, the Taiz Emergency Committee reaffirmed the suspension of classes in districts under Houthi control. The committee warned against pressure from militias to resume operations, citing risks of recruitment and sectarian mobilization. Additionally, Taiz University suspended studies and exams at its Al-Turbah branch following the arrest of a student on campus and a significant drop in student attendance due to security concerns.
