Major General Ahmed Saeed ben Brik, Vice President of the Southern Transitional Council (STC) and Chairman of the National Assembly, met on Thursday with Dr. Nawal Jawad Salem, Director General of the Education Office in the capital, Aden.
In the meeting, Major General Ben Brik was briefed on the workflow of the educational process. He reviewed the low level and noticeable decline in education recently, during which the textbook and the well-esteemed status of the teacher were lost, as Dr. Nawal explained that the challenges facing teachers weaken the educational process and lose its value.
Dr. Nawal also touched on the ongoing displacement process in the capital, Aden, which had a negative impact on all sectors in the country, including education, stressing that our primary goal in education is to build an integrated personality for the student.
During the meeting, she pointed out the need to activate the job rotation in order to improve the educational process.
In the same context, Major General Ahmed Saeed met with Dr. Issam Muqbali, Director General of the literacy and Adult Education Authority in the capital, Aden, as he gave a brief overview of the activities of the authority in the pre-unification era that the South lived in and the grand achievements fulfilled in combating illiteracy at the level of the Arab world, briefing Major General Ben Brik of a number of concerns and challenges that the agency has been suffering from for years, affirming that they in the literacy and adult education agency are on the verge of taking good steps that will be implemented with the aim of restoring its leading role, which has contributed prominently to the process of enlightenment and awareness for those who missed the education in schools.
The meeting, which was attended by Ms. Hanan Farea, deputy head of the Education Committee in the National Assembly, also discussed the situation of contract-based teachers in schools and the possibility of correcting it, as they are the major workforce in the educational sector.
In turn, Major General Ahmed Saeed lauded the ideas that were presented at the meeting to improve the progress of the educational process and the enthusiastic and leadership spirit that he sensed from the attendees and their keenness to reform and evaluate its path, asserting the interest of the leadership of the STC in the educational sector as it is one of the most important and reliable sectors of the state that counts on building a promising generation armed with the knowledge and awareness with which to build the homeland, praising the experience of the Education Fund in Hadramaut for the support it provides in the education sector and the possibility of transferring the experience to the capital, Aden.
