Sana'a, NewsYemen, private:
(I was informed that there are directives to print and distribute the developed books for the ninth grade at a rate of 100% in the coming days, God willing... Teachers should not teach the old curriculum for the ninth grade in the books of "the Qur'an - Islamic - Geographical - National"... So publish this clarification on wide range so as not to waste students' time in vain)..
The above is the text of a tweet by the leader of the Houthi militia called Dhaif Allah Al-Dreeb, who describes himself on his Twitter page as a poet, researcher, media and educator like the rest of the leaders of the Houthi militias who hold themselves responsible for any field that they have nothing to do with.
Educational sources commented to NewsYemen on this by noting that Al-Darib, who does not hold any academic qualifications, was one of the Houthi leaders who participated in introducing amendments to some educational curricula in militia-controlled areas, adding that his participation in amending the curricula on the allegations that he is an educational researcher is sufficient evidence of How the Houthi militias are trying to destroy the educational system and consolidate the policy of ignorance and produce generations of paralyzed and handicapped scientifically, intellectually and mentally.
The sources added that the content of the previous tweet of the Houthi leader, Dhaif Allah Al-Darib, reflects the scene of the tampering that the Houthi militia is now practicing with the educational system in Yemen and its essence represented in the scientific material of the school curricula and its intention to introduce many amendments and changes to these curricula in line with the concepts of its sectarian and racist ideas, its positions and its political agenda. And its employment and its subordination to Iran, the religious guardianship system, and the supreme leader politically.
Al-Darib - which presents a program related to poetry and zawamil that are mass-produced by militias - instructs teachers to stop teaching the old curricula for the ninth grade and wait for the new edition despite the passage of more than a month and a half since the start of the school year in the capital, Sanaa, and the Houthi militia-controlled areas, without having any legal status Or an executive that gives him the right to issue and address teachers in schools, let alone when he addresses them in this crude way and through his Twitter page, as if his tweet was a ministerial circular that must be implemented.
The educational sources said that Al-Dreeb’s tweet also reveals the militias’ keenness to teach students the amendments included in many educational curricula, especially those he referred to in his tweet regarding the ninth grade curricula of basic education, particularly in the subjects (the Qur’an – Islamic – National Geography).
The amendments made by the militias to many of the school curricula include the inclusion of special concepts about the claims of divine right, the guardianship of Imam Ali, doctrinal concepts related to the killing of Hussein bin Ali, and the conflicts of the first centuries of the Islamic state after the death of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, in addition to the curricula’s domestication of related issues. With their fateful coup on September 21, 2014, claiming that it was a revolution, as well as adopting their association with Iran by calling the Persian Gulf on the Arab Gulf in the geography curriculum maps.
