Hanging in the Balance: Yemeni Children’s Struggle for Education

After nine years of conflict in Yemen, two in five children, or 4.5 million, are out of school, with displaced children twice as likely to drop out than their peers, according to a new report by Save the Children.

The report, titled ‘Hanging in the Balance: Yemeni Children’s Struggle for Education’, found that one-third of families surveyed in Yemen have at least one child who has dropped out of school in the past two years despite the UN-brokered truce that took effect in 2022.
