Houthi militias recruit youth at schools through altering school curricula‏

Iran-backed Houthis continue to carry out crimes against local schools in areas they run as according to Yemeni educators collectively the added sectarianism to school curricula in Houthi-run areas will work to block and remold the minds of youth. .

On that note, school sources in Sanaa, who requested anonymity according to Asharq Al-Awsat , reported Houthis implementing a wide range of changes in curriculums, especially those concerning primary and elementary teaching. Some of the subjects which witnessed the most alterations were Islamic and Quranic studies.

A government official explained how dangerous the Houthi move is, noting that since Yahia Badreddin al-Houthi took over the group’s shadow education ministry, and the Houthification of schools has been moving rapidly in areas under Houthi control, the daily added.

Houthification of education is implemented through administering sectarian teachings imported from Iran. According to 2010 statistics, this allows the brainwashing of some 5 million students.

Since the militias tightened their grip on the capital Sanaa and other Yemeni regions, they have continued to spread their sectarian ideas, hate speech and a culture of violence among Yemenis of all backgrounds, especially women and children, in an attempt to convince more people into their Iran-inspired sectarian project at the expense Yemeni security and stability. The Houthi militia is also looking to recruit youth at schools through altering school curricula.
