Save the Children to launch reception classrooms in Yemen

SANA’A, Feb. 22 (Saba)-
Save the Children is to launch next Wednesday the first reception classrooms of two
schools
at al-Masimer district in the southern Yemeni province of Lahj.
In a press release, the Sana’a-based right group said that it had developed this
project to be carried out at 35 schools in the southern provinces of Lahj, Aden and
Abyan.
‘’The aim of reception classrooms is to support schools to provide teaching and
learning’’, said Save the Children.
With the support of Dubai Cares, the project would be carried out by Save the
Children and Education Ministry.
‘’A resource room provides students with extra support and resources for learning
in order to encourage learning of all children in the schools. The resources in the
resource
room can be used by children and teachers, or can be taken to the classroom for use
by the teacher. A resource room can be used also to provide support for children, so
that
they can keep up and be part of their class’’, the group explained.
‘’The reception classroom is piloted and envisioned that the reception classroom
will encourage more children to come to school at the right of age and encourage
dropped
out children to come back to school’’.

the Ministry of Education in its efforts to achieve its education Millennium
Development
