Taiz

Background Due to the current civil unrest in Yemen and Taiz in particular, children and schools have been largely affected.

The previous and current school semesters since February until now have been hampered due to the following

reasons : The study period was cut short. Some schools have been closed as they were occupied or used as barracks by armed forces

or armed groups. Some schools couldn’t operate for the whole period as they were located in conflict areas. Teachers’ strike and involvement of students in demonstrations.

Children have been suffering from severe distress as they have experienced or witnessed violent actions . Hence, the importance of conducting this rapid assessment came into place to assess the impact on

schools and children .

Objectives :

- Overall: To rapidly assess the current situation in schools, including its impact to teachers and students in Taiz given

the current civil unrest/conflict situation.

- Specific: 1 .To update/further validate the situation in schools and students.

2 .To plan for relevant interventions in CP/Education. 3 .To contribute to evidence based advocacy.

Geographical scope: 100 public schools have been chosen in highly affected districts (Al-Mudhafer, Al-Qaherah, Salah (Taiz city) and Al-Taezeyah (Taiz outskirt). (List of schools is attached.)

Steps of the process Data collection Team was identified consisting of 10 people ( 5 from Education &MOSAL and 5 from NGOs) One day orientation workshop on the mechanism and tools of RA and programme was held on 11

December 2011. The data collectors started the assessment covering 100 schools in 4 highly affected districts in Taiz. from 12

to 14 December. Data was entered and analyzed and the report written.

Tools used: Questionnaire of two sections : education & child protection This questionnaire is filled through interviewing 100 head masters/ deputy , 100 teachers, 87 social worker and 100 children.

Report on Rapid Assessment for Schools Taiz

“leaving to work” has been ranked as the highest reason ( 38%) for boys to be absent or dropped out from schools ,followed by early marriage for girls covering 33% then deteriorating security situation ( 25% for boys & 29% for girls) among both boys and girls. This result explains increasing number of working children in Taiz due to the bad economic condition .Early marriage continues to be a problem for girls to leave school and discontinue education.

Since the civil unrest started, as reported by respondents, 48 out of 100 schools has been affected..

The affected schools have reported about : 14 incidents of looting /theft 12 incidents of shelling 12 schools were occupied by armed forces or armed groups. 11 incidents of damaging some school facilities. 10 incidents of intimidation 6 incidents included direct attack on individuals 3 school buildings were tactically used. 3 schools were subject to Arson 1 school was aerially bombardment.

Theft/looting have been reported as the highest incidents followed by shelling . and occupation of buildings by armed forces or armed groups. Some of these incidents mentioned and others have resulted

in closing of 32 schools for number of days varying from 1- 60 days as the table below :

31-60 days8-30 days1-7 days61610

- The schools reported that during the last ten months, 4 children were killed and 23 injured, 2 staff was killed and 6 injured. 20 people from the school community killed and 18 injured.

- 17 schools reported that they witnessed violent actions during the last month (November) .Attacks on schools were the highest as it was 13 incidents.

24 schools reported about having children either in the school or the nearby areas participating in violent actions through joining gangs then pillage followed by attacking schools. Such violent actions might have been encouraged due to the current civil unrest.

WASH

- Availability of Latrines in schools : 36 schools have latrines, 24 schools don’t have enough latrines, 23 stated that these latrines are not working and 17 schools have no latrines.

- Availability of water for washing in schools : 30 schools have water for washing, 35 don’t have enough while 35 have none

Report on Rapid Assessment for Schools Taiz

While the majority of respondents (62) said that they do not use physical discipline to students, 34 respondents mentioned that sometimes they use physical discipline to students. Given that the questions were asked to teachers, might suggest that physical discipline is commonly used among them.

Different perception between teachers and children themselves regarding the level of distress amongst children. Many children responded that they, during the last week ,were happy, (38 children) and energetic (44 children) all the time whereas only 4 teachers responded that children were happy and 10 teachers responded that they were energetic.

Other observations:- The assessors reported about bad school environments ( for some schools), poor infrastructure including

shortage of furniture ( chairs for students)- Most social workers in the schools are not qualified to do the required job. They are not aware of what they are

supposed to be doing.

Challenges:- Some respondents were afraid to answer some questions especially about the perpetrators of the attack and

some might have been biased as they responded according to their affiliation to one party or another.- Some respondents felt shocked to answer questions on sexual violence as Taiz community is conservative and

they don’t think that such an incident is there or should be addressed in public. This shows as no respondents were aware of reported cases of sexual violence; 73 respondents mentioned that children and adolescents would not seek help if he/she suffers from sexual violence;77 respondents were not aware of any place/services existing for victims of sexual violence.

- It was difficult to get students data from some schools especially the ones related to last year. Some schools have no records for that .So that the data was obtained from marks record or from district office .The data somehow were reported contradictory between teacher and head master.

Recommendations:- Implementing effective programmes for working children to be back to school.- Working to reduce Child marriage cases.- Repairing those schools which have been damaged.- Working with authorities to improve infrastructure and provide chairs for students.- Awareness and close follow up for families not to allow and encourage children to participate in conflicts.- Working with the concerned authorities to put an end of children and schools being affected by the conflict by

pushing all parties to respect the rights of children and protect them in accordance of national laws and international humanitarian and human rights laws.

- Targeting children who participate in violent actions through peer education or other relevant programmes.- Improving records/data at school level.
