Aden public schools face textbook shortages
Public schools in Aden are facing a severe shortage of textbooks at the start of the 2026-2027 academic year. Most schools are failing to distribute books to students, especially in the elementary and secondary levels. This has disrupted the educational process and placed a financial burden on parents, who are forced to purchase textbooks at high prices ranging from 1500 to 2000 riyals per book from the local market. Despite two weeks having passed since the school year began, textbooks are still unavailable in schools as administrative decisions remain pending. Meanwhile, the education offices dismiss the issue and continue repeating media statements, which deepens the crisis and undermines the learning environment.
