In line with Saudi Arabia’s commitment to Yemen’s development and stability, the Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) has launched pioneering development projects and initiatives that have significantly improved the quality of education across various Yemeni governorates, SPA reported.

This support reflects the Kingdom’s dedication to building a sustainable and inclusive educational future that contributes to Yemen’s advancement and prosperity.

The program’s efforts span general and higher education, as well as technical and vocational training, through the implementation of 56 educational projects and initiatives across 11 Yemeni governorates: Aden, Taiz, Marib, Hadhramout, Shabwah, Socotra, Al Mahrah, Lahij, Abyan, Hajjah, and Al Dhale.

To ensure continuity and access to education, the program has provided school and university transportation services through designated buses that transport students from their homes to educational institutions and back. This initiative has improved school attendance and eased the burden on families, particularly in remote areas facing challenging conditions.

These educational projects and initiatives are part of a broader effort comprising 264 development projects and initiatives across various sectors in Yemen, including education, health, water, energy, transportation, agriculture and fisheries, institutional capacity building, and integrated development programs.
