The ongoing teachers’ strike in Taiz governorate, Yemen, has halted the education process, resulting in more than 15,000 students dropping out during the first half of the school year.

Despite the government’s payment of delayed salaries, teachers continue to demand salary increases and improved conditions, with current salaries being less than $50.

Political parties support the teachers’ demands, while areas under the legitimate government’s control face a worsening educational crisis due to resource shortages.
