Report: Funds Wasted on Student Abroad Programs
The review committee's report on the list of scholarship recipients in Yemen concluded that there is significant waste in the policy of sending students abroad. Hundreds of students are sent at the state's expense to study majors that are already available at Yemeni universities, particularly in the humanities such as Quran sciences, Education, Arabic language, History, Management, and Sociology. The proportion of scholarship students in the literary fields accounts for approximately 36% of all scholarship recipients, with costs reaching around $1.73 million annually, which could have been directed toward improving the quality of education within the local sector. The report also pointed to irrational cases in the distribution of scholarships, including students being sent to study Arabic language and literature in countries like India and Malaysia. Additionally, there are scholarships allocated for majors that are already offered in Yemen, especially for students studying at universities controlled by the Houthi group. This indicates poor management of resources and ineffective allocation.
