Educational Needs Assessment Report – Provision of Education Emergency Services to Affected Schools of Bayt Alfaqih District – Hodiedah Governorate, September – October 2020 – Yemen

Al-Hodeidah Governorate is one of the most hard-hit areas by the crisis of war in Yemen. All life sectors and infrastructure in all its districts have severely affected. One of those pivot sectors is education which represents one of the most challenging problems today in Yemen generally and in Hodiedah on particular.

Ongoing war situation and armed conflicts, along with cultural beliefs, and increasing poverty levels have combined to reduce children’s attainment of education in Yemen.
