Yemen’s Teacher Colleges Empty

MukallaSome Yemeni teacher-training departments now enrol no students at all.

Colleges of education across Yemen, from Aden to Hadramawt, report the same, New Lines Magazine found.

Departments have closed as enrolment fell from hundreds of students a decade ago, and al-Mukalla’s dormitories stand abandoned.

Dean Saeed Salmen Balafair now sits in the classroom where he studied among more than 100 students in 1996.
