Entesaf Organization for Women and Children’s Rights confirmed that more than 196,197 teachers have been affected by the interruption of salaries in the country.
The organization stated in a statement issued on the occasion of World Teachers’ Day, which falls on October 5 of each year, that this day is considered one of the important occasions that aim to “appreciate, evaluate and improve the lives of teachers in the world”, and provide an opportunity to consider issues related to teachers and teaching.
The statement indicated that the number of educational facilities that were completely and partially destroyed and used to shelter the displaced and are unsafe in the country amounted to three thousand and 768 facilities.
It indicated that approximately 435 schools, or about 11.5%, were completely destroyed, and 1,578 schools were partially damaged by the aggression, or 42%, and 999 schools, or 26.5%, were used as shelters for the displaced, with 756 schools, or 20%, closed throughout the country.
The statement noted the challenges and obstacles facing the education sector and the educational process in general due to the ongoing aggression and siege for more than nine years, and the direct and systematic targeting of the educational process and its infrastructure, which led to the destruction of schools, the displacement of thousands of families, the deterioration of economic conditions, the increase in poverty rates, and the deterioration of living conditions for thousands of families, which contributed to the increase in the rate of school dropouts and child labor.
Entesaf Organization held the Saudi-American aggression responsible for all crimes targeting civilians and civilian objects, and renewed its demand for the international community, in particular the International Criminal Court and its Prosecutor, to prosecute, open an investigation, hold criminals accountable, and punish the leaders of the aggression and all those proven to be involved in these crimes.
