Excusive summary

Education is one of the most affected sectors in Yemen since the war escalated in 2015. For this

reason, NFDHR found it crucial to conduct this rapid need assessment in order to identify the

education priorities needs and to determine appropriate interventions for the most vulnerable

groups. This rapid need assessment was conducted between 14-17 November, 2019 in Al-

Garrahi district, Al-Hudydah governorates in Yemen. In order to achieve the objectives of this

rapid needs assessment, NFDHR provided its team with training on data collection, data

analysis and reporting by a professional consultant and specialist. This was done to ensure that

all required information was gathered and included in the findings. Furthermore, NFDHR

coordinated with local authorities, community leaders, other NGO actors and the Ministry of

Education (MoE) in the targeted governorate in order to fulfill its objectives successfully.

Key findings

- Poverty, marginalization, underestimation of the value of education, early marriage for

girls, and lack of awareness about the importance of education, teachers' absences,

shortages of textbooks, poor quality teachers are having a negative impact on the

quality of education within the governorate, are all the reasons behind the dropping out

of students of schools.

- There are insufficient school places available to accommodate all school age children in

66% of the monitored schools in the government. Schools are therefore reporting

chronic overcrowding.

- Most of the schools are partially damaged in terms of presence of cracks in buildings,

collapse of the fence and water drains of the bathrooms, falling of the wooden roofs

apart in the popular buildings as a result of termites and high humidity which affect the

metal doors and windows causing rust, resulting in falling of windows and some doors.

Many schools were constructed long time ago, making their destruction predictable.

- The field documentation showed that 77 classrooms are unfit for study because of the

above reasons, in addition to the need of 203 classrooms for urgent rehabilitation

Page 5: 2019...2020/01/01  · Responsive Emergency Education Services in Al-Hudaydah Governorates 8 Nov.: 2019 Related protection need Families may prioritize boys’ education over girls,

furthermore the students of 24 classes studying in alternative places and students of 58

classes studying in the open, and therefore, the urgent intervention is needed to

prevent more dropping out and to improve the education quality.

- The entire need of classrooms is 92, Khawla Bint Al-Azwar school was the most in need

(10), followed by Fatima Al-Zahra’a, Al-Hussein, Ammar Bin Yasser, Al-Nahdah and

Belquess as these schools are characterized by high student density and all host a

number of IDPs, especially Balqees School. And for accuracy, all schools visited had

enough space to build alternative classes.

- In many schools, a large number of students are sitting on the floor, especially Khawla

Bint Al-Azwar, Fatima Al-Zahra, Al-Nahdah, Ammar Bin Yasser, and Al-Hussein Bin

Salama, making the urgent provision of new desks a priority.

- The overall number of students is about 6,675 who are sitting on the floor in all sample

schools which means a number of 2,225 new desks are needed to cover the student in

the sense of 3 students per desk along with maintenance of 1,030 old desks.

- The community contribution was evident in the school of Ammar bin Yasser which is a

building of a benefactor but unfortunately it was not completed and desks-free and yet

characterized by overcrowding making this school a perfect candidate for emergency

intervention by providing new desks.

- The secondary schools in this district are numbered on the fingers, and to date, it has

not received any interventions to ensure their continuity and service to students in the

same region and surrounding areas.

- It was easy to notice the need for maintenance of 225 boards, and provision of another

226.

- The most required restoration process is the painting of 294 classrooms, repairing 365

windows and providing 58 new ones, in addition to the provision of 5 new doors and

repairing of 192 others. The schools most in need of all the reforms are Al-Nahdah and

Ammar bin Yasser.

- All but five of the schools do not have access to water and students rely on bringing

water from homes, the school canteen, or from the nearest nearby farm. The degree of

hardship in obtaining water varies depending on the distance between the nearest

water point and the school where the distance in all schools ranged from 1 - 2000 m.

- The number of bathrooms in schools reached 104 schools, all of which are mostly out of

service due to the destruction of water systems, the absence of reservoirs and lack of

water. All these reasons are the way to the spread of epidemics such as cholera because

of lack of hygiene and students spend their need in open places close to where they are.

- Rapid assessment of the status of teachers showed that the number of male teachers is

greater than the number of females, contrary to what is known which the

predominance of the female element in education in particular. A total of 404 formal

and volunteer male teachers and 233 formal and volunteer female teachers were

recorded.

- Although Khawla Bint Al-Azwar school has received training in post-war psychosocial

support for three days, teachers have not received any training of any kind during the

past four years, and it should be noted that there is a need to intervene and carry out

some types of training for teachers, especially education in emergency , Class

management ,learning strategies and teaching aid that would have a significant impact

in improving the educational process and thus improving the learning environment.

- All schools assessed have no procedures in place to deal with any kind of emergency.

- All schools reported a lack of the extracurricular and recreational activities.

Overview

The Education Cluster estimates that 4.7 million children need education

assistance, including 3.7 million in acute need. This includes roughly 2 million

children who are out of school. Girls are more likely to lose out on education,

with 36 per cent out of school compared to 24 per cent of boys. Support for

teacher incentives is an urgent need for the upcoming school year.

Approximately 10,000 schools in 11 governorates are seriously affected by the non-payment of

teachers’ salaries, and 51 per cent of teachers have not received their salaries since October

2016. In addition, about one million children in southern governorates have lost two months of

schooling due to teacher strikes following the devaluation of the rial and inflation in the last

quarter of 2018.

Education Cluster data confirms that an estimated 2000 schools are unfit for use due to the

conflict. This includes 256 schools that have been destroyed by air strikes or shelling; 1,520

schools that have been damaged; and 167 schools that are sheltering IDPS. Support is needed

to provide supplies and school meals to children as an incentive to keep children in school, as

families may de-prioritize education in difficult economic times and send children to work.

Affected population

Conflict-affected children are especially at risk. Military operations along the west coast

seriously obstructed access to education. Altogether, an estimated 300,000 children are out of

school in districts with high levels of conflict, including Al-Hudaydah, Sa’ada, Al Dhale’e, Al

Bayda and Hajjah.

In Al-Hudaydah, one-third of schools are closed due to fighting. In the worst affected areas of

Al-Hudaydah, only one in three students can continue attending school, and less than one

quarter of teachers are present in school. Approximately 1.1 million IDP children need

education support. These children are often affected by the loss of family income, loss of civil

documentation, overcrowded schools, and general hardships caused by displacement. These

children often need access to TLSs and alternative learning opportunities.

TRENDS ANALYSIS AND KEY CHANGES IN 2019

The number of children who need education assistance is increasing year-on-year, rising from

2.3 million in 2017 to 4.7 million in 2019. The vulnerability of school-age children has increased

significantly due to escalation of conflict, severe deterioration of the economic situation and

increased displacement.

Related protection need

Families may prioritize boys’ education over girls, and girls are therefore more likely to be out

of school. Parents may have concerns about sending daughters to school due to security issues,

a lack of female teachers or if the school is a long distance from home. A lack of separated

toilets or WASH facilities is a major cause of girls dropping out of school. Girls who are out of

school face a higher risk of early marriage and domestic violence. Boys face a higher risk of

recruitment by armed groups.

Given economic challenges, boys and girls are both at risk of being held back from school and

sent to work. Conflict-affected children, including IDP children, are more likely to need

psychosocial support services (PSS). Marginalised children, such as Muhamasheen and children

with disabilities are more likely to be ignored when it comes to education.

UNDERLYING CAUSES AND KEY DRIVERS

Despite gains made in enrolment in

the last decade, Yemen was not able

to achieve education millennium

development goals (MDGs). The

quality of education and weak

institutional capacity has deteriorated

further, which is further straining the

education system.

The primary reasons for this decline

are successive cycles of conflict,

which have taken a severe toll on

civilians, and the worsening economic crisis. These have resulted in significant losses in human,

physical and economic capital, leading to drastic deterioration of public services, including

education.

About the Targeted governorates and district

Al-Hudydah governorate

Al-Hudydah governorate is about 230 km from Sana’a. The governorate sits among a number of

other governorates: Haja governorate to the north, Al-Mahwit and Sana'a governorates’ to the

east, Taiz governorate to the south, and the Red Sea to the west. It has a total area of 13,500

km2.

Al-Garrahi district (location) and (population)

Al -Garrahi district is located in the southwest of Al-Hudydah governorate. The district sits

among a number of other districts and governorates: Zabeed district to the north, Wusab As-

Safil and Jabal Rass districts to the east, Altohayta district to the west, Haiss district to the

south. Al- Garrahi city is the center of the district. As of 2019, the district has a population of

136,114 inhabitants. The district has a total area of 585 km2.

Objectives of the assessment

After the escalation of the Yemeni crisis which has been erupted into armed conflict, an

education needs assessment is needed to assess the impact of conflict on education and to

understand people's education needs in such circumstances.

1. Identify the education problems, reasons for student drop-out and low-enrollment in

schools.

2. Assess the education needs in the targeted districts.

3. Prepare a suitable mechanism based on the needs and improving the available services.

Methodology

Assessment Tool

As part of development of this project, NFDHR undertook a needs assessment of education

opportunities and constraints in Al-Garrahi district, targeting schools with high populations

Page 10: 2019...2020/01/01  · Responsive Emergency Education Services in Al-Hudaydah Governorates 8 Nov.: 2019 Related protection need Families may prioritize boys’ education over girls,

accompanied with high need as nominated by the director of the Education Office in the

district. The assessment consisted of the following:

1. Key informant interviews (KIIs).

2. School manager questionnaires.

3. Director of Education Officer questionnaires.

Sampling and Method

As the assessment is confined to Al-Garrahi district, purposive sampling methods have been

used to select the schools. Thirty-one schools (out of seventy-two) were selected as the

assessment community. The schools were selected on the basis of the nomination of the

director of the Education Office and local authority in the district as they are the most affected

and therefore the neediest in the region. As a result, the sample is represented by 31 schools,

which form 43% of the total number of the districts’ schools. Emergency intervention in these

schools will improve the quality of the educational process and prevent more students from

dropping out, if not returning the already dropped out students. For more details see (Annex I).

Results and Discussion

Data Analysis

Given the amount allocated for emergency intervention in this district, the simple and most

pressing needs in schools will be covered, hoping for more interventions in the near future.

About students

Access and learning environment

During the war in Al-Hudydah, all schools had been closed and equipped partly by IDPs and

others by armed groups and the rest were damaged or in the fire line, this assessment

conducted after the fight had been stopped in the middle of Nov. 2019. It was found that the all

30 schools visited are functioning.

After evacuation of all remaining IDPs from schools to other public buildings, the reopening of

schools and returning of children to classrooms contributed broadly to recover the situation

and normalizing the life of people in Al-Hudydah in a relatively short time.

Enrollment of students in schools

The results of this survey revealed that the total number of students enrolled in the sampled

schools are 7,286 male and 8,083 female, with a gap of 565 and 524, male and female,

respectively due to the drop out of these students from the school as a result of poverty,

marginalization, underestimation of the value of education, early marriage for girls, and lack of

awareness about the importance of education.

The very same reasons prevented some parents from sending their children to school

represented by 850 male and 765 female in the sampled schools as they were recorded (not

attended students).

Displaced students

More households from adjacent districts are still fleeing their areas because of the continuation

of conflict. So 55% of the schools which recorded increasing number of enrolled children

attributed this increment to this recent displacement as mentioned in Fig.2. The total number

of displaced students 818, forming about 5% of the total number of students in the district.

About schools

Absorption capacity

According to the field observations, 66% of school management have been complaining of the

huge number of students registered. The issue here is that number of school rooms are limited

comparing with the increasing number of children at the age of schooling.

The following figure shows

percentage of schools sampled which

experiencing limited absorption

capacity in compare with other

schools in the same sample. Some of

the school headmasters interviewed

comments that how we can pay

attention to those children outside school to get them back, while our schools barely

accommodate the number of children already enrolled. In addition, different vulnerable

children groups (displaced students, marginalized students, disabled students..etc.) are

studying with other students in the same school.

Emergency preparedness

It was observed that all schools have no written plan specifying established procedures of what

can be done in case of emergency. The need for education in emergency courses for these

schools is therefore of paramount importance.

Degree of damage in schools

Following the survey in 31 schools in Al-Garrahi district, Al-Hudydah governorate, it was

found that among the all 31 school sampled, only 10% of them were not damaged,

while the rest of them ranged between totally damaged (3%), Partially damaged (76%),

and the rest (21%) of the schools are in need for rehabilitation.

Fig. 4, shows this situation in addition Fig.5, shows the number of functioning schools by

type. The partial damage of schools means the presence of cracks in buildings, collapse

of the fence and water drains of the bathrooms, falling of the wooden roofs apart in the

popular buildings as a result of termites and high humidity which affect the metal doors

and windows causing rust, resulting in falling of windows and some doors. Many schools

were constructed long time ago, making their destruction predictable.

Schools’ facilities

Classrooms status

After the field visits, a number of 298 classrooms were detected with average number of (9-

10) classrooms per school. But the number of classrooms varies from a large school that

contains 19 classrooms and a small one that contains 3 classrooms. So the average number of

students in each classroom of the schools sample is 52 Students (this indicator measures the

average # of students in one classroom in one shift).

Most interviewed schools principals complained of the overcrowded classrooms in their

schools. They said that the number of students in primary classes may exceed seventy learners

per class.

It is so important mentioning that among all the visited schools, 298 classrooms still

functioning, 13 are totally damaged, 77 inappropriate for studying, 203 need rehabilitation,

students of 24 classrooms are studying in alternative places and 58 classrooms their students

studying in open (Fig.6). Reflecting the need for alternative classes because of the intensity of

students in some schools as they receive the IDPs and the fact that most of them sit on the

floor, the dropout within these schools is not surprising at all.

Types of alternative classrooms used

As mentioned before, the students of 24 classrooms are studying in alternative places and 58

classrooms their students studying in open. A

very attractive condition to drop out of school as

well as the attack of the economic situation on

the people of the district, which makes it a good

justification for the refusal of parents to enroll

their children in schools. But the question here

is whether students really want to leave school

and farewell their future?!, albeit unknown,

better than nothing (poor kids, who can’t decide

anything). Fig. 7, gives an overview of alternative

places that are used instead of damaged

classrooms, or even lacked ones. Most of them

14% using the store, 7% using tents, 3% can be found under trees, and being in mosque seems

the scenario of another 3% of schools, rented buildings are another alternative to 3% of

schools, finally, labs if any, is the alternative classrooms of the students.

Number of alternative classrooms needed

The number of the classrooms needed in visited schools is shown in the following Figure, but it

was worth mentioning that most in need schools for classrooms in a descending order are as

follow: Khawla Bint Al-Azwar, Fatima Al- Zahra’a, Belquees, Al-Nahdah, Abu Tharr, Zaid Bin Al-

One of the factors that can help resuming the education process in Al-Hudydah after wartime is

that school furniture. Most sample schools have been exposed to damage or loss especially in

case of desks, doors, and windows and a little experienced roof collapse (Annex II).

Water

All schools, except 5 of them, have no regular access to a source of water within premises,

students prefer to bring water from homes or buy some from school canteen, and others get

their water from the nearest farm. The distance between the schools and the nearest water

Latrines/Toilets

There are 104

toilets in all

schools sample,

all of them are out-of-service, and

there are 7 schools that do not have

any bathrooms. The reasons for not

using the bathrooms are the lack of

a drainage network, the absence of

water tanks and the lack of water,

which is the most important.

Students when eliminating their

need in the exposed places this

causes the spread of many

epidemics in the region, including

cholera. Rehabilitation of

bathrooms is one of the most crucial

needs and can’t wait at all. Fig.11,

summarises the rehabilitation of

schools’ toilets needs.

Fig 11: Rehabilitation of schools’ toilets needs

Although all schools mentioned that there are a few children with disabilities among their

students, only one out of thirty-one schools (3%) have toilets and stairs that are suitable and

can be used by people with disabilities.

24 water tanks are needed

2 water sewers digging

25 pipes network is needed

84 water taps are needed

Hygiene and sanitation

For promoting hygiene in schools, 19 schools were observed equipped with hand-washing

facilities that are accessible for students. WASH in schools projects funded by some NGOs

provide such water tanks and rehabilitation for latrines.

About teachers

Number of teachers

The total number of teachers recorded in schools

sample is 637 (404 males and 233 females). It is

noticed that males’ teachers of schools sample

are more than the female, which is as strange as

the opposite situation is always observed. Fig. 12,

Shows the numbers of both gender according to

their status (formals or volunteers) (Annex III).

Fig 12: Number of teachers by status and gender

In-service training and support

Teachers in all sample schools weren’t provided with any type of in-service training. Teachers

haven’t attended any training since the last four years, except for Khawla Bint al- Azwar school

which received training in post-war psychosocial support for three days. Such support

badly needed by recently recruited teachers. To conclude the discussion on training, teachers

prioritize d the following training needs:

1. Emergency education.

2. Teaching methods (specific and general).

3. Class management.

Recommendations

Access

There is no data to highlight if there is any schools that are closed, All school sampled and

visited are open and students are back to their seats.

The estimated statistical projections tells that there are more than 1,615 children (47% of them

are girls) are still out of school in sample schools. Education stakeholders (education

authorities, local community, and L/I NGOs) should synergize efforts to tackle this gap with

integrated approaches that might include a consistent set of some of the following suggested

interventions:

- Supporting children of vulnerable households with schooling requirement such as

providing them with school bags, uniforms, and feeding.

- Constructing extra classrooms to accommodate the increasing demand for education.

There is a need for at least extra 92 equipped classrooms in sample schools to alleviate

classroom over crowdedness and absorbing out of school children.

- To address above mentioned awareness-related drop-out reasons there is huge needs

to developing education-related public awareness programs on the importance of

schooling, implications of early marriage of girls, and negative impact of using physical

humiliating punishment at schools (strong educational media campaign , and working

with local communities should all be deployed) to tackle absenteeism and improve

enrolment rates.

- Working to re-integrate marginalized communities with the whole society through

improving basic services in those communities, and raising their awareness about their

human rights and roles as citizens.

- Supporting marginalized and poor households with schooling conditional incentives (such as

food distribution, cash transfer).

- Supporting extracurricular, recreational and play activities in schools, and enhancing

students' involvement in students' councils and in varied volunteering work groups for

serving the school and local community.

- Supporting varied WASH (WATSAN rehabilitation and hygiene awareness raising activities )

in schools, and supporting provision and allocation of school gender-wise separated toilets

for both students and teachers.

Quality of education

At local level, education partners can contribute to improve quality education through

adopting some of the following recommended interventions:

- Supporting education authority in timely textbook provision.

- Prioritizing the fundamentals of a good quality primary education (the first 1-3 grades)

as it is the most crucial for setting the solid foundations for a good education for life.

- Enhancing the quality of teachers, guidance personnel and principals by providing them

with flexible systematic in-service training programs, and activating professional

development meetings for each group of them.

- Strengthening resource availability (libraries, labs, teaching and learning materials).

- Training teachers to make them able to deliver emergency related topics such as peace

building education; violence prevention; health, nutrition and hygiene promotion.

Community participation

Schools, parents, and local community should work together to promote the well-being, and

learning of all students. When schools actively involve parents and engage community

resources they are able to respond more effectively to the educational needs of students.

Partners can support community participation through the following:
