The difficult and successive crises facing everyone, including leaders and faculty members in universities, we are going through a severe crisis in Yemen that has negatively affected the quality of higher education, as is the case worse in public education.
The learning resources and the infrastructure are very defective, but the brothers and sisters are working to the best of their ability to improve, albeit relatively, the quality of higher education. Because the future of Yemen depends on the future and quality of education, and now the future of Yemen is at stake, an ambiguous future; Because the level of education is weak, and I hope that it will improve, and leaders are the means of advancement, and I hope that they will be keen to support these institutions so that they can carry out their work effectively and efficiently.
